<> The Brahmaputra, or more accurately, the Yarlung Tsangpo Brahmaputra-Jamuna river, begins in the high glaciers of the Tibetan Himalaya and executes a dramatic turn to plunge through the world’s deepest gorge.
<> For 400 kilometres, the river twists around the mountains, dropping more than 2,000 metres in altitude and giving up huge energy potential as it goes. Hydropower experts see it as an Eldorado of energy potential.
<> From the gorge, it bursts through to the northeastern corner of India. From there the river descends into the Assam valley of India and then the vast deltaic lowlands of Bangladesh to rendezvous with the Ganga, before reaching its final destination in the Bay of Bengal, having crossed three of the world’s most populous countries – China, India and Bangladesh – along its journey.
<> Everything about this river system is on a majestic scale: as Bushra Nishat points out, it carries a volume of water greater than the combined flow of the 20 largest rivers in Europe, a greater volume than any river bar the Amazon and the Congo; it carries vast volumes of silt, the curse of dam builders, but life giving to farmers and fish, from the high Himalaya to the tropical seas of the Bay of Bengal.
<> For thousands of years, millions of people have lived along its banks, dependent on the mighty river’s pulse for the rhythms of their lives. It has inspired music and dance, stories and legend, tributes to the unchanging presence that is the foundation of their livelihoods.
