News that Laos is set to move ahead with construction of the controversial Xayaburi Dam without further agreed consultation with the rest of the Mekong region threatens to destroy hydropower cooperation.

The Mekong Delta is known as Vietnam’s biggest rice producing and fish farming area responsible for half of total food output and 40% of fishery production in the country. The Lower Mekong River’s annual natural flood cycle makes the delta’s rice fields fertile and brings migratory fish species to local fisheries-dependent communities.
