Pak Mun Dam and Mekong/Mun River Basins |

Report |

|
| Abstract: |
"This is one of up to 10 case studies of dams in major river basins around the world to be undertaken by the Commission in preparation of its June 2000 final report. The report will provide a framework for future decision-making on dams, which epitomise the many conflicts at the heart of debates over sustainable development. However, it should be noted that the Commission is not judicial in nature and will not adjudicate on disputes over dams. The WCD case studies will underpin that final report by illustrating 'lessons learned' in terms of the myriad impacts -- positive and negative -- of dams on people, the environment, and economies." |
