A New Day for the Mekong: Launch of the Mekong Dam Monitor

Past
 Research Launch

  in Southeast Asia

As the Mekong Basin pitches toward ecological crisis, knowledge of the operations of dams on the Mekong mainstream in China and other parts of the Mekong Basin has been kept inside a black box. The Mekong Dam Monitor is public resource which uses remote sensing and satellite imagery to provide near-real time reporting and data downloads across numerous previously unreported indicators in the Mekong Basin.

This project is a collaborative partnership formed by the Stimson Center’s Southeast Asia Program and Eyes on Earth, Inc. The Mekong Dam Monitor is supported by the Mekong-US Partnership and is hosted on mekongwater.org.
