Reservoir, Lao PDR, in To determine the conservation area, data and information were collected by mapping the deep waters area of spawning grounds, feeding ground, fishing seasons, and fish.

This study explored water resource management in an irrigation project in Lao PDR. The field activities within the pilot project of the Nam Houm Irrigation Scheme, Lao PDR, were studied by.

The prevalence of infected snails in Lao PDR was quite low, % on the Mekong Islands and % in Khong District, although the snail density was quite high. Neotricula aperta snail density in Thailand decreased between and in the downstream area of the Nam Theun 2 hydroelectric dam, which began operation in Cited by: 8.

During the Dam Operation Phase, the needs for fisheries management of four impact areas must be addressed: 1) the reservoir and its affluent streams, 2) the fauna passage facilities, 3) the downstream river channel and floodplain(s), and 4) the delta, estuary and adjacent sea.

In Lao PDR, full time fishers account for only a few percent of the Lao population, but fishing is central to livelihoods in the southern provinces of the. The riverine ecosystems of the Mekong River Basin possess the world’s most productive inland fishery and provide highly productive food crops for millions of people annually.

The development of hydropower potential in the Mekong River has long been of interest to governments in the region. Among the existing 64 dams, 46 dams have been built in the Lower Mekong Basin. Software systems are also gaining attention, but somehow are gearing in at a slower pace.

From tothe irrigation area in Lao PDR increased by percent through diversified water resources development, including weirs, reservoirs, pumping systems, diversion gates, traditional weirs and gabion dams.

FISHBIO offers a wide range of services from research, monitoring, conservation, compliance and fabrication for fisheries, streams, rivers and more. A decision-support-system (DSS) framework for linking livelihoods with reservoir operation: experiences from MK1 case studies in the Mekong Basin.

Conversely, as many as million people live in or close to irrigation systems in malaria-endemic areas.

In WHO sub-regions 1 and 2, where % of the currently estimated global malaria burden is concentrated, only million people are Cited by: After the initial ranking, the six dams selected for further study were: Hough Lampan Gnai (Lao PDR), Se San 3 (Vietnam), Xe Keman 3 (Lao PDR), Thoung Kontum (Vietnam), Se San 4 (Vietnam) and Lower Sre Pok (Cambodia).

But, political reality dictated that the list be revised to enable each participating country to have two priority projects. Domestically, the power system in Lao PDR is divided into four unconnected supply 5. reservoir operation During processes for: 1.

sector planning The Current Status of Environmental Criteria for Hydropower Development in the Mekong Region: A Cited by: The population of the Lao PDR consists of 49 ethnic groups (with sub-groups) and is classified into 4 ethno-linguistic groups, namely Lao-Tai, Mon-Khmer, Hmong-Iumien, and Sino-Tibetan.

In reality there are many more ethnic groups in the country, some estimates state that there are as many as (Chamberlain, ). The book launch, funded by the Australian Water Partnership (AWP), took place in Myanmar’s capital of Naypyidaw.

The book is a straightforward resource, containing hydrogeological data and maps which provide information such as the location of artesian basins, arsenic and saltwater, and the depth of drilling required in different locations.

Habitats are classified based on their Snails were collected across four main habitat types; reservoirs, rice. Even the most conservative of82 estimates suggest the fall in the wild fish catch caused by main stem hydropower construction will surpass the combined livestock production of Cambodia and Lao PDR.

Fisheries created in the reservoirs behind the dams at best could only compensate for 10% of the losses caused by the dams.
