In addition, China has identified another mega-dam site on the Brahmaputra at Daduqia, which, like Metog, is to harness the force of a nearly 3,000-meter drop in the river’s height as it takes a sharp southerly turn from the Himalayan range into India, forming the world’s longest and steepest canyon. The Brahmaputra Canyon – twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States – holds Asia’s greatest untapped water reserves.
此外还中国已经在雅鲁藏布江的大度卡地区确定了另一处兆瓦级水电站选址，此地跟墨脱一样利用河流从喜马拉雅山脉向南急转流向印度过程中近3000米高差所产生的势能，也正是这一势能催生了世界上最长也最陡峭的峡谷。而雅鲁藏布大峡谷——比美国的大峡谷深一倍——拥有亚洲最为庞大的未开发水资源储量。
