 Why in news

  • A landslide in Sikkim caused damage to six houses and a building of the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) at its Teesta-5 hydropower station in Gangtok

Environmental costs associated with hydropower projects

  • Hydropower projects can trigger landslides, as seen with recent damage to NHPC's Teesta-5 station.

  • Melting glaciers and outbursts, like the South Lhonak glacier (sikkim) that destroyed the Chungthang dam last year, can severely impact hydropower infrastructure.

  • Inadequate design or construction, such as using cheaper materials, can lead to dam failures, causing extensive damage and loss of power

  • Building large dams and reservoirs alters natural river ecosystems, affecting wildlife and plant life.

  • Reservoirs can trap sediments, reducing their storage capacity and affecting riverbed habitats downstream.

  • Diversion of river flow for power generation can impact water availability and quality downstream, affecting agriculture and local communities.

  • Initial cost savings on construction may lead to higher long-term environmental and repair costs, undermining sustainability

Tso Lhamo Lake

  • Tso Lhamo lake aka Chho Lhamo, Cholamu Lake is one of the highest lakes in the world, located at an altitude of 5,280 m

  • It is situated in Mangan district, Sikkim, India, about 4 km southwest of the international border with China. 

  • It is fed mainly by waters from Kangtse glacier 

  • The Teesta river, a tributary of the Brahmaputra, originates from the Tso Lhamo Lake
