[Project report of the Livelihoods and Food Security Trust Fund (LIFT) Dry Zone Program]

In the Dry Zone of Myanmar, improved access to water is widely acknowledged as being vital for livelihood enhancement and the general well-being of around 10 million people, most of whom depend on agriculture. Thus, expanding the sustainable use of groundwater is of great importance for socioecon...

Hydropower and irrigation developments to address rising demand for food and energy are modifying the water balance of the Mekong Basin. Infrastructure investment decisions are also frequently made from a sub-catchment perspective. This paper compares river flows with irrigation development stage...


Lacombe, GuillaumeDouangsavanh, SomphasithBaker, J.Hoanh, Chu ThaiBartlett, R.Jeuland, M.Phongpachith, C.[Are hydropower and irrigation development complements or substitutes?: the example of the Nam Ngum River in the Mekong Basin]Are hydropower and irrigation development complements or substitutes?: the example of the Nam Ngum River in the Mekong Basin

The present study was undertaken in Lao PDR to investigate the impacts of organic and clay-based soil amendments on maize yield, total nutrient uptake and crop water productivity (CWP), and analyze the economic return of such interventions. Structured field experiments were established over two c...

In the Dry Zone of Myanmar, variability in water resources and insufficient capacity to manage that variability is one of the main causes of food insecurity. Seasonal water scarcity is widely acknowledged to be a key constraint to livelihoods and peoples’ wellbeing. This paper describes analyses ...


Douangsavanh, SomphasithMcCartney, Matthew P.Lacombe, Guillaume[Mapping irrigated areas in the dry zone of Myanmar by differentiating evapotranspiration from irrigated and rain-fed areas [Abstract only]]Mapping irrigated areas in the dry zone of Myanmar by differentiating evapotranspiration from irrigated and rain-fed areas [Abstract only]

Increasing demographic pressure, economic development and resettlement policies in the Lower Mekong Basin induce greater population dependency on river flow to satisfy growing domestic and agricultural water demands. This dependency is particularly tight in upland areas where alternative water re...


Lacombe, GuillaumeDouangsavanh, SomphasithVogel, R.McCartney, Matthew P.Chemin, Yann H.Rebelo, Lisa-MariaSotoukee, Touleelor[Simple power-law models to predict flow metrics for water resource and risk management along the Mekong tributaries. [Abstract only]]Simple power-law models to predict flow metrics for water resource and risk management along the Mekong tributaries. [Abstract only]

Groundwater recharge remains almost totally unknown across the Mekong River Basin, hindering the evaluation of groundwater potential for irrigation. A regional regression model was developed to map groundwater recharge across the Lower Mekong Basin where agricultural water demand is increasing, e...

This paper develops a hydro-economic optimization modeling framework to assess the economic consequences and potential trade-offs of various infrastructure development and policy pathways in the Nam Ngum Basin (Lao PDR). We considered whether large shifts in water resource demands in a relatively...
