Description	The Medog Hydropower Project is a massive $16.7 billion mega-dam project initiated by China on the Yarlung Tsangpo river, known as the Brahmaputra in India. It is a run-of-the-river hydropower scheme with a formidable capacity of 70 GW, designed to generate electricity without extensive reservoirs or long-term water storage, thus limiting its ability to significantly alter downstream water flows.
