Himalayan rivers offer immense potential to the power sector in South Asia. China has been building huge dams on Bramhaputra river. India needs to form a coalition with its neighbouring countries like Nepal,Bhutan,Bangladesh and even Pakistan to tap the potential of these rivers as far as power generation is concerned. This region is so blessed by water and sun, if the hydropower potential and solar power potential is harnessed, we would not required to sign and nuclear power treaty with any nation in the world. All we need to do is get our act together and expedite the projects.
Here I share a good read on The Economist on the hydro power potential in the Himalayan region.
