The recent Nepal floods are just a preview. China is building massive dams on the Brahmaputra (called the Yarlung Tsangpo/Sangpo in Tibet), quietly storing up enormous volumes of water — and since 2017, China has stopped sharing hydrological data with India. This "Water Bomb" could unleash a flood on Assam and Northeast India bigger than any nuclear weapon.

🔑 UPSC/Competitive Exam Relevant Points:

Brahmaputra River (Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet) — a major transboundary river
China halted hydrological data sharing with India since 2017
China-India water dispute and its strategic/geopolitical significance
Flood risk to Assam and Northeast India from upstream damming
Upper riparian state dynamics and India's water security concerns
Relevant for GS Paper 2 (International Relations) and GS Paper 3 (Environment/Disaster Management)

📌 A critical Current Affairs topic for UPSC, State PSC, SSC, and other competitive exam aspirants.
