Xayaburi Dam Commences
Mekong residents demand transboundary impacts addressed.
The first dam built on the Lower Mekong, Xayaburi, has commenced its commercial operation today with a big splash of advertising on almost every newspaper’s wraps in Thailand, convincing the public that it is in harmony with the nature.
Its executive, as giving an interview to some media, said the dam’s developer and investors have been aware of the health of the environment so they have invested in the technology and design that can put the dam in harmony with the nature.
