$3.5 billion dam a few hundred kilometers
upstream on the Lao-Thai border,China, which
borders northern Laos, built four hydroelectric
dams on the upper Mekong between 1986 and
2009.in 2007, Chinese dams triggered violent
flooding.1,280-megawatt Xayaburi dam, which
Laos proposed last September, would be the
first of 11 dams planned for the river’s
mainstream.a 2010 study by the International
Centre for Environmental Management (ICEM)
that recommended a ten-year moratorium on
new Mekong dams,the four lower Mekong countries
agreed in 1995 to initiate a multilateral
MRC review if one of them ever proposed a
dam on the river’s mainstream.The Xayaburi
dam would threaten at least 41 of the Mekong’s
1,300 fish species and cause $476 million
in direct losses through reduced fish harvests.according
to the MRC, would decrease the dam’s output
by up to 60 percent in 30 years. “If China
is using the river as a resource and gaining
greatly from it, then why can’t we do the
same thing?”,Emerging research suggests
that increased glacial melting in mountainous
Central Asia will likely increase downstream
river flows for a few decades but ultimately
cause late-summer water shortages.“This
is all going to become a big pond,” he said.
“But that’s what the government decided,
and we have to respect the government.”
