Foreword The Mekong was always an international river, in the sense that foreigners were always interested in it. Since ancient times, people and goods have moved along this wide brown highway that preceded roads, railways and modern freight containers. As described in many historical accounts, it also provided access to the interior of the Mekong region to generations of conquerors, explorers and traders. The years of turmoil in the Mekong region account for much of the neglect of this major inland waterway in the latter part of the 20th century.

Development Plan for Tonle Sap and Chakdomuk
DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TüNLE SAP AND CHAKDOMUK PHASE 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PREPARt:D FOI~ THE MEKONG SECRETARIAT BY ORS TOM IN ASSOCIATION WITH B C E 0 M OCTOBER 1993 BCEOM DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TONLE SAP AND CHAKDOMUK PHASE 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY prepared for The Mekong Secretariat by ORSTOM in association with BCEOM October 1993 SCOPE Of THE STUDY The Great Lake of Cambodia is the largest permanent freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, covering areas between 2 500 km 2 during the dry season and more than 13 000 km 2 at the end of the rainy season. The Great Lake is connected to the Mekong by the Tonlé Sap River. The confluence is at Chakdomuk in Phnom Penh city, some 120 km to the south-west of the outlet of the lake. The study area (éomprising the Great Lake, the Tonlé Sap River and their surrounding wetlands and agricultural fields) constitutes a highly productive ecosystem for the country. However, several reports have indicated that environmental conditions have changed during the last years. The siltation of the Tonlé Sap, especially at the confluence with the Mekong and at the entrance of the lake (near Snoc Trou) was reported as being an obstacle to the flow in the Tonlé Sap River. It was also alleged that sedimentation has significantly reduced the depth of the lake. Serious reduction in fish catches have also been reported. Sedimentation and uncontrolled fishing practices are thought to be major causes for this reduction. The Interim Committee for Coordination of Investigations of the Lower Mekong Basin resolved to address these problems, including inland navigation aspects and river morphology problems in the confluence area of Chakdomuk, through a comprehensive integrated development plan of the area.

Mekong River in the Economy
le:///.le/id=6571367.3900159 NOVEMBER REPORT 2 0 1 6 ©THOMAS CRISTOFOLETTI / WWF-UK In the Economy Mekong River © NICOLAS AXELROD /WWF-GREATER MEKONG Report prepared by Pegasys Consulting Hannah Baleta, Guy Pegram, Marc Goichot, Stuart Orr, Nura Suleiman, and the WWF-Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam teams. Copyright ©WWF-Greater Mekong, 2016 2 Foreword Water is liquid capital that flows through the economy as it does FOREWORD through our rivers and lakes. Regionally, the Mekong River underpins our agricultural g systems, our energy production, our manufacturing, our food security, our ecosystems and our wellbeing as humans. The Mekong River Basin is a vast landscape, deeply rooted, for thousands of years, in an often hidden water-based economy. From transportation and fish protein, to some of the most fertile crop growing regions on the planet, the Mekong’s economy has always been tied to the fortunes of the river. Indeed, one only need look at the vast irrigation systems of ancient cities like the magnificent Angkor Wat, to witness the fundamental role of water in shaping the ability of this entire region to prosper. In recent decades, the significant economic growth of the Lower Mekong Basin countries Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam — has placed new strains on this river system. These pressures have the ability to impact the future wellbeing including catalysing or constraining the potential economic growth — if they are not managed in a systemic manner. Indeed, governments, companies and communities in the Mekong are not alone in this regard; the World Economic Forum has consistently ranked water crises in the top 3 global risks facing the economy over the coming 15 years.
