Mekong nations agree to share information
Representatives of six Mekong nations formulated guidelines at an academic conference in Thailand on how to share information and technology to jointly manage the transnational river this week.
The approach focuses on cooperation, rather than conflict, according to a high-ranking Thai official. Worasart Apaipong, director-general of Thailand’s Water Resources Department, said yesterday that sharing information would help minimise negative impacts when upstream nations needed to release water from their dams on the Mekong River.
