Active Fault Line Threatens China's Mega Hydropower Project on Yarlung Tsangpo River

Summary

Chinese geologists have issued a warning that an active fault line located directly beneath the world's largest hydropower project, currently under construction on Tibet's Yarlung Tsangpo River, poses a significant threat to its infrastructure. A recent paper published in "Sedimentary Geology and Tethyan Geology" details how a fracture in the Earth's crust in the eastern Himalayan region could compromise the mega-dam's integrity.
