China has resumed sharing hydrological data on the Brahmaputra and Sutlej rivers with India after a year’s gap.
China stopped the exercise citing that the hydrological gathering sites were washed away due to floods. It also coincided with the 73-day Doklam stand-off that took place during the peak monsoon period.
China has resumed sharing hydrological data after the two sides held talks over the issue in March.
Data will be shared twice daily until October.
Beijing has started providing data from three hydrological stations — Nugesha, Yangcun, and Nuxia, lying on the mainstream of the Brahmaputra, also known as Yarlung Zangbo in China
Data is shared from the station at Tsada for the Sutlej, known as Langqen Zangbo
