Engineering the Mekong: How Upstream Dams are Reshaping Cambodia's Flooded Forests

This study explores how upstream dams have reshaped the dry season hydrology, raising minimum river levels by more than one meter during much of the dry season, and essentially erasing a period of low-flow that the flooded forests of Stung Treng Ramsar Site, Cambodia, need to survive. Research findings indicate that, for the forests to survive, major upstream dams must reduce and/or reschedule dry season releases.
