A dam in the upper riparian river might act as a water bomb affecting flora and fauna living in the lower riparian. Mangdechu river lies in Bhutan but its impact on Manas national park was seen when it caused flash floods in the UNESCO site in 2016 affecting 30,000 people in Assam, damaging 24 houses, and submerging 1000 hectares of cropland.
