India and other Southeast Asian nations could face reduced water availability if China's weather modification efforts alter the flow of rivers originating from the Tibetan Plateau. The Brahmaputra River, vital for agriculture and livelihoods in northeastern India, is particularly at risk. Experts caution that poorly coordinated weather modification could lead to accusations of 'rain stealing' and exacerbate regional tensions. Additionally, the lack of international regulations governing such activities could result in disputes over water rights and resource allocation, potentially impacting millions of lives dependent on these rivers.
