- Active fault line threatens world’s biggest hydropower project, Chinese geologists warn
Chinese geologists have identified an active fault line beneath the world’s largest hydropower project on Tibet’s Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) River, warning it threatens the infrastructure of the mega-dam. The fracture in the Earth’s crust in the eastern Himalayan region could compromise the project’s stability, according to a study published in the journal Sedimentary Geology and Tethyan Geology.
