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

Vietnam’s irrigation development policy directions are divided between the objective to continue increasing rice production through agricultural intensification and to improve farmer’s livelihoods through crop diversification and integrated farming. While the first objective requires the construc...


Hoanh, Chu ThaiSuhardiman, DianaAnh, L.T.[Irrigation development in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta: towards polycentric water governance?]Irrigation development in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta: towards polycentric water governance?

The coastal zone of the Mekong River delta has experienced rapid economic and environmental change during the last decade. Given the nature of the environment and the level of dependence on the natural resource base, policies for land and water were very influential in this process. The emphasis ...

Marine and lacustrine deltas around the world are economic and environmental hot spots. They occupy approximately 1% of the Earth's land area but are home to more than 500 million people?a population density more than 10 times the world average [Ericson et al., 2006]?all within 5 meters of sea le...

We assessed the potential impact of climate change on the yield of rainfed rice in the lower Mekong Basin and evaluated some adaptation options, using a crop growth simulation model. Future climate projections are based on IPCC SRES A2 and B2 scenarios as simulated by ECHAM4 global climate model ...


Mainuddin, M.Kirby, M.Hoanh, Chu Thai[Impact of climate change on rainfed rice and options for adaptation in the lower Mekong Basin]Impact of climate change on rainfed rice and options for adaptation in the lower Mekong Basin

A crop growth simulation model was used to study the impact of climate change for the period 2010-2050 on water productivity of rainfed rice. In general, the results suggest that water productivity of rainfed rice may increase significantly in the upper basin in Laos and Thailand and may decrease...

This report presents a discussion among IWMI?s Asian researchers on the strategy for policy research on canal irrigation in India. Poor service delivery, persistence of head-tail inequity, growing gap between irrigation potential created and utilized, shrinking of command area despite growing inv...

Wood charcoal production provides affordable energy in many developing countries and has substantially contributed to the economy through the provision of rural incomes. In several countries, charcoal production leads to overexploitation of forests due to inefficiencies in processing. This study ...

Regional and local trends in rainfall intensity, frequency, seasonality, and extremes were analyzed in the central Mekong Basin in continental Southeast Asia over the period 1953-2004 using the modified Mann-Kendall test, accounting for long-term persistence and the regional average of the Kendal...
