[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=6) I love her, bro. Got it? So China is now afraid of flooding from the dam.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=12) For India, the flooding will be twice as bad as that.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=14) The double- sized one being built in India, you’ll cry yourselves to death over this double- sized one.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=19) If they built a 60,000- megawatt one, you people would’ve…

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=22) It would’ve made you go, “Aha!” It gets accumulated.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=25) Once it accumulates, there’s a dam. Then after the dam, there will be a stamp on it. It needs a very large area No, that’s how dams are built.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=35) Oh, it has been built many times where you are.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=38) But I’m telling you, they keep getting built where we are.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=40) That’s how dams are built. This is a very normal procedure. Next.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=43) Because this double- sized dam is being built, over there, we have 27 villages.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=47) The 27 villages are yours, right? Want me to tell you what’s bigger than you?

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=51) 5,500 villages. Think about China for a second, its dam's water supply was shut off to your people.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=57) Your 5,500 villages' people became happy.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=61) And yes, a dam, you know, a dam isn't made of wood or anything.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=64) It's not like the kind they build and leave in your village.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=66) For this, nowadays there is seismic design.

[1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=69) Say it with me, seismic. It has quite a lot of criteria too.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/iBg6cmibhCKk/en/china-and-india-dam-debate-flood-risks-villages-and-seismic-design?t=72) You can check it on Google. Google, Google is an app. I'll send a link.
