Covering a distance of nearly 5,000 km from its source on the Tibetan Plateau in China to the Mekong Delta, the river flows through six countries: China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam." Fig. 3 - S1 (29.08.2020) - Five years later, view after the building of Dahuaqiao dam. 3D view "The basin is home to one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world, with more than 20,000 plant species and 850 fish species discovered to date. An estimated 80% of the nearly 65 million people living in the Lower Mekong River Basin depend on the river and its rich natural resources for their livelihoods, making sustainable development crucial for the environment and communities living in the basin."

Environmental and Social Impacts of Lancang Dams
Xiaowan Dam Environmental and Social Impacts of Lancang Dams the water to downstream dams so as to ensure other dams can run at full capacity. Xiaowan and Nuozhadu are the two yearly regulated dams with big regulation storages, while all the others have very limited seasonal regulation capacity. A wide range of studies have confirmed that the wet season Summary flow will decrease, while the dry season flow will increase because of the operation of the Lancang dams. Because the This research brief focuses on the downstream impacts on Lancang river contributes 45% of water to the Mekong basin hydrology, fisheries and sedimentations caused by the Lower in the dry season, the flow change impacts on downstream Lancang cascade in China. Manwan and Dachaoshan were reaches will be more obvious increasing flows by over 100% the first two dams completed on the Lancang River (in 1995 at Chiang Saen.

Many scientific studies have been done to gardens and other seasonal agriculture. Millions of villagers evaluate the impacts from Manwan and Dachaoshan dams who live along the Mekong River grow vegetables in river- by analyzing monitoring and survey data.
