China is planning to build massive dams in Tibets to divert water from Brahmaputra river making Assam suffer from dry river basis. India is worried.

China on Sunday unveiled a giant plan to relocate a vast population to make way for the south-north water diversion project. It is this project, which has caused concern with some experts saying it might affect the flow of Brahmaputra in Assam.

Accirding to media reports, resettlement authorities in Henan said they have drawn up a massive resettlement project involving 330,000 people living in central China's Hubei and Henan provinces to make way for the water diversion project, which cut across the whole country. The process of resettlement will be completed by 2011, sources said.

Areas around the proposed Danjiangkou reservoir will be evacuated to build sluice for diverting water from the Yangtze River to meet water requirement in Beijing, Tianjin, Henan and Hebei. Government sources said people evacuated from their lands will be resettled in areas with the soil quality is good.

Xichuan County in Henan, which has 185 villages, will see the resettlement of 162,000 people.
