SIANG

Sept. 1, 2018

The water level of Siang river in Arunachal Pradesh has subsided after a scare triggered by an alert from China to India about the swelling of Tsangpo following heavy rain in Tibet.

About:

The Tsangpo – Yarlung Zangbo, as it is known in China – enters Arunachal Pradesh, where it is known as the Dihang (or Siang) River.
It turns towards south and enters Assam where it is joined by two mountain streams, the Lohit and the Dibang and thereafter it is known as Brahmaputra.
