What?
![Page 3: Presentation of CPWF-Mekong](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548afbcdb47959d21e8b45ae/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
In the Mekong, the CPWF looks ways to optimise the management, use and operation of dams
and their reservoirs.

Why?
![Page 5: Presentation of CPWF-Mekong](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548afbcdb47959d21e8b45ae/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Between them, the GMS countries have a hydropower potential of 1,090,000 GWh.
As of 1999, just 20,500 GWh had been developed.

The aggregate demand for electricity in GMS is projected to
rise from 108,850 GWh in 1995 to 600,000 GWh in 2020.

Virtually every study of the impact of the dams on the Mekong System predicts substantial
environmental and social costs as a consequence of their development.
The single biggest change to water use and its management in the Mekong today and into the
future is hydropower development.
![Page 11: Presentation of CPWF-Mekong](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548afbcdb47959d21e8b45ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But these developments also open up opportunities - agricultural, economic, environmental and social.

How?
![Page 13: Presentation of CPWF-Mekong](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548afbcdb47959d21e8b45ae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
To explore this idea, we've developed six projects.
![Page 14: Presentation of CPWF-Mekong](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548afbcdb47959d21e8b45ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. Optimizing reservoir management for livelihoods.
2. Water valuation.3. Optimising the management of cascades or
systems of reservoirs at catchment level.4. Water governance at the basin scale.5. Coordination and change.6. Hydropower governance and the development
of partnerships and knowledge-sharing.

We’re looking for new partners, new ideas and new initiatives to help us achieve our vision

Where?
![Page 17: Presentation of CPWF-Mekong](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548afbcdb47959d21e8b45ae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Our projects are scaled – they work at the dam, catchment and basin levels.
![Page 18: Presentation of CPWF-Mekong](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548afbcdb47959d21e8b45ae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We have chosen to work on one
completed dam (Yali); one partially
constructed dam (Nam Theun Hinboun
Expansion); and one planned dam (Lower
Sesan 2).

While the bulk of our field work will be in Cambodia, Vietnam and Lao PDR, Project 4
focuses on the basin scale and Project 6 has a focus in China and Thailand as well.
