Mekong River Basin Case Study • Basin area: 795,000 km 2 • Basin countries: China, Myanmar, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam • Primary management issues: Flood management, fisheries, agriculture, navigation, hydropower and environment Source: Revenga, et al. 1998, 2-92
Mekong River Basin Case Study: Key IWRM Agency: Mekong River Commission • Fragmented basin management amongst MRC and upper riparians—although probably not the critical management issue • Economic goals—largely hydropower development vs. wetland and biodiversity protection. • MRC has an IWRM agenda, while other agencies—ASEAN, GMS Economic Cooperation Program, MWRAS—have hydropower agenda • Ecosystem services framework to potentially provide common ground for basin-wide management—detailed analysis of the services associated with the Sonle Tap wetlands of Cambodia probably most illustrative of synergies and tradeoffs with other basin development objectives Photographer: Dimple Roy
