About

In recent years, extreme weather events such as Typhoon Yagi have increasingly caused rapid onset flooding that flows across national boundaries, devastating communities and causing billions of dollars of damage. How can countries in the Mekong improve transboundary forecasting? How can dam operators improve coordination of dam operations to reduce impacts and respond to immediate and seasonal trends in rainfall? Currently in the Mekong, major dams are filled to their maximum capacity, an observation that has not been seen since the Mekong Dam Monitor began operations in 2020? How will their dry season operations affect downstream communities who expect low river levels in the dry season to carry out their livelihoods?

Join the Mekong Dam Monitor team for its forecast for the 2025 dry season and review of major findings from the 2024 wet season.
