Laos builds third hydropower dam, threatening Mekong River in VN
Vietnam needs to find solutions to the increasing number of hydropower dams being built in regional countries, according to Dr Vu Trong Hong, chair of the Vietnam Water Resources Association, and former Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. Laos is preparing to build the third hydropower dam on Mekong mainstream early next year, despite warnings. What Vietnam needs to do is to adapt to the new circumstances, by storing water in flood season to be used in dry season.
