Pakistan shocked at Chinese dam on Indus River

I have heard word-of-mouth stories of a Chinese dam on the Tibetan headwaters of Indus River (Senge Khabab, ?????????????) but never saw anything published about it. A news story from Pakistan confirmed the rumour today. I tried to locate the spot where the dam must be built using Tibetan Himalayan Digital Library's handymapping tool. Unfortunately the satellite imagery is not clear on close-up and the mapping system won't show rivers. So I drew a VERY rough blue line (took me 2 seconds on PhotoShop) on the map to show Indus headwaters. The dam is located near Ngari (????????, called "Ali" in Chinese) township, circled in black, in Gar (????) county in Western Tibet.




I then checked on Google Earth and, guess what, the dam is clearly visible there. See the screen shot below. The dam is situated at 32 degrees and 31 minutes North latitude, and 80 degrees and 10 minutes East longitude. It is built on a tributary of Indus River, which flows from East to West joining the main (Indus) river at 32 degrees and 31 minutes North latitude, and 79 degrees and 42 minutes East longitude. The "city" on the left of the image is Ngari township.
