The report by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and the by the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on the Mekong river dam in
China has been highlighted by the Yale Center for the Study on
Globalization. In an article “Dams in China Turn the Mekong Into a
River of Discord”, Michael Richardson, a visiting senior research
fellow at the Institute of South East Asian Studies in Singapore states
that “Rivers know no borders, but dams do”.

While reporting in YaleGlobal, the article says, “A report in May by
the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Asian Institute
of Technology (AIT) warned that China’s plan for a cascade of eight
dams on the Mekong, which it calls the Lancang Jiang, might pose ‘a

The article has been reprinted in several publications around the
globe including the “The Nation” on July 28 on its prestigious Opinion
page.
