Twenty villages in the eastern Tibetan region of Amdo face displacement to make way for a major new hydropower dam on the upper reaches of the Machu River, according to a new notice issued by the Qinghai provincial government and Tibet Watch sources.
This represents the first official confirmation of yet another large dam on the heavily dammed river known as Machu (黄河, Yellow River). The river’s headwaters in eastern Tibet are already interrupted by a cascade of nine hydropower dams before the river flows into China, where it is known as Huang He and celebrated as the cradle of Chinese civilisation.
