China dams, river diversion will hit Bangladesh harder

Why should we build a reservoirs in Nepal for the benefit of Bangladesh ? Nepal would not allow that.
If you want reservoirs for your benefit you need to build it on your land.
It is because India unilaterally built Farakka to destroy BD agriculture, and make us poor and destitute, therefore, it is the solemn duty of India to reverse the process by building reservoir upstream. Build it anywhere you like. Why do you think Nepal will not allow it if the planning calls for producing hydro-electricity there that can be sold also to BD and India? Nepalese mindset is not that mean like the Indian miser mindset is.

What prevents Bangladesh from building dams on its land to store the excess waters ?
Tell that to all those villagers in Nepal who will be displaced by the dam

I suggest you worry about your villagers instead of Nepal's......

Bd is a lower riparian country where dams cannot be built because these do not serve any purpose.

Nepal does not share any rivers with Bangladesh. The Ganga and Brahmaputra do not flow in Nepal. Under what ground can you approach Nepal ? Why would Nepal build a dam to store water for Bangladesh ? Your chances are zero on any grounds.

Lower riparian states have dams. Pakistan is a good example.

Not Nepal, but India should build RESERVOIRS in Nepal or anywhere in ts own land to offset the loss of BD's due water by diverting it to the Hoogly river at Farakka point.

The Indus and other five tributories flow still through the high land of Pakistan, very unlike of BD which has flat land without mountainous terrain. So, what is possible in Pakistan may not be possible in BD. Pakistan has built dams for hudro-electricity production. Not possible in BD terrain.

Nepal is a sovereign state. First India cannot construct dams in Nepal. You will submerging a lot of villages in Nepal which is a poor country. Nepalis will never agree to it. Second if the dams in Nepal have storage capacity the waters are never going to get to Bangladesh. The water will be lost before it reaches Bangladesh.

Your best bet is local storage.
 
To all the Indian posters who oppose the construction of Chinese dams north of the Himalaya, I ask you to read the current news of flooding in our north due to the rise of water level in Brahmaputra. If China builds reservoirs, it will cause the mitigation of flood in BD because Chinese reservoirs will retain the excess water available during the monsoons hardly with any adverse effect on BD.

Most rivers burst banks in northern Bangladesh; 300,000 marooned

Hundreds of thousands of people have been marooned in floodwaters in three northern districts as the rivers Brahmaputra and Teesta have burst their banks.

These rivers are flowing above the danger level while the Dharla, Ghaghat, Dudhkumar and other rivers are flowing near the danger level.

According to the authorities, more than 300,000 people are stranded in floodwaters in Nilphamari, Kurhigram and Gaibandha districts. At least 223 educational institutions in those districts have been closed.

Distribution of relief has started, but the flood-affected people have complained that the amount is not sufficient.
Gaibandha is the worst-hit district in the region. The number of people stranded in flood has crossed 150,000, with the situation worsening every day.

Bangladesh Water Development Board Executive Engineer Mahbubur Rahman said the Brahmaputra was flowing 17 centimetres above the danger level while Ghaghot water is only 1 centimetre below the level.

At least 130 families have lost their home to river erosion in Erendabarhi union, said union council chairman Azizur Rahman.

The primary and high schools, union council office and community clinic are also in danger of collapse, he added.
He also claimed no relief was distributed among the families that lost home.

Gaibandha Deputy Commissioner Goutam Chandra Paul said the administration has 'enough' relief to distribute. "There will be no problem," he said.

The district administration has allotted 125 tonnes of rice and Tk 1 million in cash, he added.

The situation is also worsening in Kurhigram, where around 150,000 people have been stranded for a week.

BWDB Engineer Mokhlesur Rahman said rising water of the Teesta, Dharla, Dudhukumar and other rivers was inundating new areas.

The Brahmaputra was flowing 10 centimetres above the danger level at Chilmari point.

Local union council chairman Abul Hossain said 100 families received 10 kg rice each on Monday after the Upazila administration cleared the relief of one tonne rice. "It was insufficient," he added.

He also said the flood-hit people were in need of drinking water and dry food. "But they cannot get those because they can't earn money due to floods," he said.

The district's Deputy Commissioner Abu Saleh Mohammad Ferdous Khan, however, claimed that the situation was under control.

He said 2,000 packs of dry food, 150 tonnes of rice and Tk 325,000 have been distributed across the district.


In Nilphamari, Teesta water rose following heavy rains and flash floods, and was flowing 32 centimetres above the danger level on Monday.

Over 5,000 people of 30 villages on the banks of the river Dimla and Jaldhaka have been stranded in flood waters.

Water Development Board Sub-Divisional Engineer Hafizul Haque, stationed at Dalia Barrage, said the Teesta was flowing 30 centimetres above the danger level at that point.

The WDB has opened all 44 valves of the barrage to control the water. Haque said the water might rise in next two or three days.

This is how India bullies others.

Name one country with whom China has signed a river water sharing agreement
China is not a part of Ganges basin. Why should it be a member ?

How will China build dams on rivers that do not flow in their territory ? Brahmaputra is the only river. The Teesta starts in India and ends in Bangladesh.

Either you were born stupid or you think other people are stupids. Where did I say the Ganges belong to China. Rather, it is the source of Brahmaputra water in the northern Kailash/Manosh Sarobar in Tibet.

most of the rivers other than Brahmaputra do not originate in China. China is of no use in solving your flood issue
