The purpose of this paper is to provide a range of information which may be useful during dialogue to establish appropriate river flow regimes in the Sekong River in Viet Nam, Lao PDR and Cambodia when large hydropower projects are constructed and operated. It is designed to provide baseline or background information to assist in the process.

This is a timely report given the growing public and political awareness on the importance of inland water transit, and the vulnerability of key waterways to environmental degradation and misuse. It has been prepared with a view to its use by academics and civil society organisations, but it also contains specific recommendations for public policy changes and improvements which will be made available to relevant government agencies in bot

Flussauen spielen für den Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt, den naturverträglichen Hochwasserschutz und die Anpassungen an den Klimawandel eine wichtige Rolle. Trotz der bedeutenden Funktionen von Auen im Naturhaushalt war über ihre räumliche Ausdehnung und ihren Zustand im bundesweiten Überblick bislang wenig bekannt. Diese Wissenslücke wurde durch die Erfassung und Bewertung der Auen von 79 Flüssen auf einer Länge von ca. 10.000 Flusskilometern mit einer Gesamtfläche von ca.
