💨 Abstract

The 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Tibet has highlighted the seismic risks associated with the hydropower building spree in the Himalayan region by China and India. With 68 major dams already built and another 101 in planning or construction stages, experts have expressed concern over the potential for damage, especially in light of the earthquake-prone nature of the region.
