Pay it in proportion to area inundated by the dam to provinces rather than the location of the power house.

Do that and see how large dams become non-political suddenly.

How do we make sure that the construction of 1 large dam does not also suffer from faulty design and mismanagement before spending tax payers’ hard earned money only to be gifted with another dam operating at 7.4% efficiency? Just curious.
