💨 Abstract

A 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Tibet has killed 126 people and damaged four water reservoirs, raising concerns about the seismic risks of a hydropower building spree by China and India in the quake-prone Himalayan region. Experts warn that the region's 68 major dams, just a fifth of which have been tapped, face significant seismic risks, with another 101 planned or under construction.
