The Siang River becomes muddy: Arunachal, shows concern
Landslides in Upper Stream could also be the reason, although this can't be determined until a thorough study has been conducted.
According to reports, the Siang river in Arunachal Pradesh has suddenly turned muddy, a sign that China is conducting building projects upstream.
This has proven to be a significant worry for those who live downstream.
The river reportedly became murky or turbid three days ago.
According to the authority, the recent lack of rain makes the colour shift or the presence of muck in the water odd.
The problem is still being monitored by the authorities, however some construction on the river's Chinese side has been identified as the main cause.
The river is known as Yarlung Tsangpo in China, and it is believed that earth-cutting may be occurring over it, which has now become a big worry.
Landslides in Upper Stream could also be the reason, although this can't be determined until a thorough study has been conducted.
