The Activities Related to Mekong
1. Current Activities: The working
activities on downstream site planned for the Stung Chinit dam.
2. Future Activities: ADRA will monitor the
development of the Stung Chinit dam because its shallow, hand-dug wells rely on
underground streams rather than groundwater and upstream development (or
downstream development on the Mekong mainstream) may affect these wells.
