A hydropower venture at Zangmu is now under development. Government deliberately screens all improvements on the Brahmaputra River. As a lower riparian State with respectable secured client rights to the waters of the River, India has passed on its perspectives and concerns to the Chinese powers, including at the largest amounts of the Government of the People's Republic of China.
