Mekong river monitoring network improvement receives French support

[geovalin]

The French Government today granted EUR 1.5 million to the Mekong River Commission (MRC) to improve and expand its river monitoring network for better river monitoring and management of water infrastructure project operations along the mainstream and key tributaries of the Mekong.

 

The Mekong River is the lifeblood of millions of people who depend on the river for their livelihoods. But as development accelerates and climate change intensifies, insufficient data and information on water infrastructure in the basin and the way this infrastructure is operated have made it difficult to forecast impacts.

 

“We hope to strengthen the current river monitoring system, making it more efficient, reliable and capable of collecting and transmitting real-time rainfall, water level, and other environmental data to aid responsible development and management of the river,” said Dr. An Pich Hatda, MRC Secretariat CEO.

A good, if minor, move which should provide reliable information to those Mekong River countries trying to limit the damage from the Chinese and Lao dams which are causing so much harm to the delta rice grwing ares.
