Rough waters of Lower Sesan II dam
According to the Vietnam River Network, Lower Sesan II dam in Cambodia will impact both environmental and social aspects. Impacts will be felt not only around the project site but also from the upstream Sesan River to downstream at the Sekong River, Tonle Sap, Vietnam Mekong Delta region and also some parts of Laos and Thailand. However, the EIA report for this project only refers to some affects around the dam. And the transboundary impacts were not mentioned in EIA report. The cause of the disease is thought by locals to be due to dam construction companies, as they discharge waste water into the river where they shower. However, Royal Group, a major shareholder of in Sesan Hydropower II, denied this allegation.
