India on Friday said it would look into how much water will be lost from its rivers because of dams being built by China on the Brahmaputra.

“The Ministry of Water Resources will advise us whether these dams are just run–of–the–river dams or storage dams. Our understanding is that these are run–of–the–river dams, in which case we would not be affected,” External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid told reporters here. “We also have to get expert advise on what is the downstream impact and how much water is likely to be removed. We have indicated (to China) that we have downstream concerns,” he added.
