Abstract

The Lancang River Basin in China is undergoing extensive hydropower development, and several large dams on the upper Lancang-Mekong River have become operational in the last 20 years. The Lancang-Mekong River flows through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam after leaving China; thus impacts of the development of the Chinese Lancang cascade of hydropower projects may extend well beyond national boundaries. Transboundary effects may be both positive and negative. For example, although natural ecosystems have the potential to be negatively impacted, water management may alleviate some of the negative effects of drought or flood.
