Reply to this commentRachel Vandenbrink where are you based? Have you ever visited the Nam Theun 2 dam?
I have a doubt about your technical qualification as journalist to write about the hydroelectric dams in Laos.Who does pay you to write those articles about the dams in Laos.

Reply to this commentThis article does not identify the researcher nor have its facts and figures been checked against official figures at the MRC.

To Anonymous, Ms Vandenbrink prepared the English version of the article written by a Lao journalist. So get your target correct. And it is a well established and well researched fact that the dams in Lao are not of the best quality, poorly designed and will do remarkable damage to the Mekong and tributaries downstream. The data from the MRC has already confirmed this.
