I wonder and hope he knows why he is concerned.
First point:
How much is Luit fed by Champu and how much by the rivers in Assam?
Does Gogoi know?

  Gogoi concerned over China plan

  Guwahati, Oct 24: Expressing concern over China's reported plan to construct a dam on river Brahmaputra in that country to divert 200 billion cubic metre of water, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take up the issue with Beijing. 

  Damming and diversion of such huge quantity of water would hit the state's economy, he said in a statement adding the government would soon constitute an experts committee to study the matter.

  The Brahmaputra-Barak-Meghna river system contributes almost one-third of the total surface water resource of the country and any large-scale diversion of this water will have serious repercussions on the interests of the N E region and the country as a whole, he said. 

  He sought the Prime Minister's intervention to safeguard the interests of the people of the state as well as the entire country.

  China is reportedly planning to diver the water to feed its Yellow River.
