China has begun sharing hydrological data with India on the Bramhaputra river for this year's monsoon season, a senior Water Resources Ministry official said Monday.
It is also expected to start sharing data on the Sutlej river from June 1, the start of monsoon season in the country, the official said.
The Brahmaputra originates in China's Tibet and flows into Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. It later drains into the Bay of Bengal through Bangladesh.
Sutlej, a tributary of the Indus, also originates in Tibet, and flows into India and then enters Pakistan.
China provides data from three hydrological stations Nugesha, Yangcun and Nuxia located on the mainstream of the Bramhaputra, also known as Yarlung Zangbo
