  • The Lancang/Mekong and the Nu/Salween Rivers: Promoting Regional Watershed Governance and Distributive Justice for Downstream Burmese Communities
    UN Symposium on Hydropower & Sustainable Development THE LANCANG/MEKONG AND THE NU/SALWEEN RIVERS: PROMOTING REGIONAL WATERSHED GOVERNANCE AND DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE FOR DOWNSTREAM BURMESE COMMUNITIES Ken MacLean Chana Maung Ann Putnam EarthRights International (ERI) EarthRights International (ERI) EarthRights International (ERI) P.O. Box 123 P.O. Box 123 P.O. Box 123 Chiang Mai University Chiang Mai University Chiang Mai University Chiang Mai, 50202 Chiang Mai, 50202 Chiang Mai, 50202 Thailand Thailand Thailand [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: This paper examines some of the current obstacles to watershed governance and distributive justice for the diverse ethnic communities in eastern Burma that rely upon the Lancang/Mekong and Nu/Salween Rivers for their economic livelihoods and cultural survival. More than two dozen large- scale dams are planned for these two river systems. Nearly all of them will be built and/or financed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC), although other non-state actors are also centrally involved. The paper outlines some of the key forces driving the PRC to construct new dams in Yunnan despite mounting evidence that such projects will undermine rather than enhance human security and sustainable development in the region. Three projects are discussed: the Lancang/Mekong and Nu/Salween Cascades as well as the proposed Tasang Dam in northeastern Burma, which the state- owned China Export-Import Bank (CEIB) is considering financing. Special attention is focused on the environmental impacts of impoundment and the future political and economic costs of the PRC’s failure to take the interests of downstream countries and their ethnically diverse populations more fully into consideration.

  • The Role of Environmental Impact Assessment in the Governance of Nu-Salween River: a Comparative Study of the Chinese and Myanmar Approaches
    International Conference on the Mekong, Salween and Red Rivers: Sharing Knowledge and Perspectives Across Borders | Faculty of Political Science, Chulalongkorn University | 12th November 2016 The Role of Environmental Impact Assessment in the Governance of Nu-Salween River: A Comparative Study of the Chinese and Myanmar Approaches Bian Yongmin China Abstract The Nu-Salween River flows from China to Myanmar and Thailand. Both China and Myanmar have proposed hydropower projects on this shared river. This paper investigates the role of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the governance of Nu-Salween River in order to find ways for the riparian states to improve their EIA practice. The paper finds the potential role of EIA in facilitating decision-making towards sustainability has not yet been fulfilled either by China or Myanmar. China’s EIA law is weak compared with Myanmar’s EIA law in standards, scope, and transparency. It can be observed that in practice, both China and Myanmar EIA reports of hydropower projects often downplay the environmental impacts. Chinese investors in Myanmar are endeavoring to improve EIA after encountering challenges to their environmental protection measures for several projects from hydropower to mining and pipeline constructions. This paper argues that China should learn from Myanmar to improve the transparency of its EIA, take more social issues into its EIA assessment and justify mitigation measures based strictly on science strictly. As an upstream state, China should take trans-boundary impacts into consideration in EIA of hydropower projects on Nu River if China plans to develop hydro- projects on the same Nu River. Downstream Myanmar may learn from China the experience and lessons in administrating and supervising the EIA of hydropower projects as China may have the richest experience and lessons in developing hydropower projects today in the world.

  • Water Transport Construction of the Greater Mekong Riparian Countries
    THE WATER TRANSPORT NETWORK BETWEEN YUNNAN AND MAINLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA ——A Study of GMS Water Transport Network Construction—— He Shengda Yunnan Academy of Social Sciences With total area of 394,000 square kilometers and with Special location of highland connecting Southwest China to Mainland Southeast Asia, Yunnan Province has six water systems, namely Lancang—Mekong River, Irrawady River, Yuanjiang—Honghe (Red) River, NuJiang—Salween River, Yangtse River and Zhujiang (Pearl) River. Knows as “the Water Tower of Asia”, Yunnan is one of China’s provinces that are plentiful of water supply as well as the only area in Asia which has six water systems. Among these water systems, Lancang-Mekong River is an international River with great significance to the riparian states, which flows from China to Mainland Southeast Asian countries. Originating from Tanggula Mountian of Northwest China’s Qinghai province and with total length of 4,880 kilometers, Lancang-Mekong River flows through Qinghai Province, Tibetan Region and seven prefectures of Yunnan Province. It enters into Mainland Southeast Asia from Xishuangbanna Prefecture at Sino-Lao PDA 244 Border Merestone and then is called Mekong River. The Mekong River flows through Lao PDA, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, and finally affluxes into the Pacific Ocean at Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam. Since the initiative of GMS cooperation in 1992, the Lancang-Mekong sub-region has been called Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) with a total area of 2.30 million square kilometers and around 250 million heads of total population. There are four international rivers within this sub-region, namely, the Greater Mekong River, Irrawady River, Yuanjiang—Honghe (Red) River and Nujiang—Salween River.

Gland, Switzerland. This report was designed by The Clarion Portfolio. Cover image: Fisherman on Zhangdu Lake, the project area of the WWF HSBC Yangtze Programme, Hubei Province, China. © WWF-Canon / Yifei ZHANG Executive Summary Executive Summary “What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go Hal Boyle anywhere else.” Pulitzer prize-winning columnist Perhaps there was a time when that was true, but no longer. Even the greatest of the world’s rivers can no longer be assured of reaching the sea unhindered. These days the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo River, on the border of the U.S. and Mexico, often fails to reach the Gulf of Mexico, its strength sapped by dams and irrigation works diverting water to farmers’ fi elds and city water supplies. The Indus, the Nile, the Murray-Darling, the Colorado, these are but a few of the once mighty rivers that now struggle to touch the ocean. In fact, water extraction is only one of the daunting challenges that a river faces as it makes its way to its terminus. Dams and channelization destroy habitats, cut rivers off from their fl oodplains, and alter the natural ebb and fl ow on which a river’s plants and animals depend.
