| Abstract | One of the key elements in the Mekong River development plan is Pa Mong project, situated 25 km above Vientiane, whose purpose is to irrigate the semi-arid Northeast and at the same time provide a large block of power for industrial development, with incidental benefits in navigation and flood control.
The degree of control that can be exercised over the river by storage is of vital interest in planning the scheme. After studying the problem of storage from the conflicting viewpoints of requirements and availability, the conclusion is reached that this limits utilization to about 65 percent of the available flow.
Evaporation and sedimentation, though quite large, amounting to 920 million m³ and 138 million tons annually, are negligible in relation to the water available and the capacity of the reservoir. |
