Development of Guidelines for Hydropower Environmental Impact Mitigation and Risk Management in the Lower Mekong Mainstream and Tributaries
Abstract
Hydropower is recognized as an important development opportunity for the Mekong River Basin and the people living within it. The need to improve the sustainability of the basin’s hydropower developments is a key Strategic Priority in the Mekong Basin Development Strategy. The Mekong River Commission has established the Initiative for Sustainable Hydropower (ISH) to emphasize the need to understand the scale and distribution of risks associated with hydropower development in the Mekong. The Strategy also seeks the exploration and documentation of possible avoidance, mitigation and benefit and risk sharing options. The relationship of hydropower development to social and environmental issues has been identified as an issue of strategic concern by all governments and many other stakeholders in the region. There is also strong public and civil society concern over these issues that have brought together academics, NGOs and other civil society agencies into multi-national discussions on the implications of hydropower development in the lower Mekong Basin. BOKU represents the Mitigation Expert for Fisheries and Aquatic Ecology in this project and will lead the work to describe the baseline fish and biological conditions in the Mekong and potential impacts of hydropower dams. Research with regard to regional and global experience on the mitigation options for fish and biological related impacts will document existing policy and planning frameworks in relation to this subject. The effectiveness of the proposed measures will then be tested for various scenarios together with Hydropower Design and Operations Experts in the Mekong context to assess potential operational and economic consequences of these options. As a result, concise guidelines and training materials based on preferred mitigation options will be developed and presented in a stakeholder engagement and consultation processes to build capacity in the relevant agencies and among regional practitioners.
