Tonlé Sap
Tonlé Sap (; km, ទន្លេសាប, ; or commonly translated as 'Great Lake'; vi, Biển Hồ, Chữ Hán: 湖海/壺海) is a lake in the northwest of Cambodia. It belongs to the Mekong River system. It is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems in the world, designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1997 due to its high biodiversity. Entering the 21st century, the lake and its surrounding ecosystems are under increasing pressure from deforestation, infrastructure development and climate change. Geography Tonlé Sap Lake is located in the northwest of the lower Mekong plain, formed by the collision and collapse of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The lower Mekong plain used to be a bay, and the sea level rose rapidly at the end of the last glacial period. About high, cores from this period found near Angkor contain tidal deposits, as well as salt marshes and mangrove swamp deposits, deposite ...

Rivers Of Kon Tum Province
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs ...

Yali Falls Dam
The Yali Falls Dam is the second largest dam in Vietnam, located in Gia Lai and Kon Tum provinces on the ''Krong Poko'', a tributary of the '' Sesan River'', in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, about upstream of the Cambodian border. The -high dam was begun in 1993 and sealed in 1996, with the reservoir filled by 1998. It aims to generate 720 MW of hydropower. Like many large dam projects, it has been highly criticised, for causing flooding, damaging fisheries and for the lack of consultation with Cambodian authorities. Amongst those opposing the dam are the Sesan-Srepok-Sesong Protection Network (3SPN), organising 59 villages in northeast Cambodia to promote the environment in the three river basins and supported by Oxfam.

Lower Se San 2 Dam
The Lower Se San 2 Dam (also: Lower Sesan 2 Dam and Han Se San 2 Dam) is a hydroelectric dam under development on the Se San River in Stung Treng Province, northeastern Cambodia. The Se San River is a major tributary of the Mekong River. The dam site is located east of the provincial capital, also named Stung Treng. The first turbine began producing electricity in November 2017. The dam was officially opened on December 18, 2018. History The Lower Sesan 2 (LSS2) was first envisaged in a 1999 study funded by the Asian Development Bank, and in which it was deemed an unattractive investment due to its marginal financial viability and its large potential environmental impact. Nevertheless, a memorandum of understanding between Cambodia's Ministry of Mines and Energy and Vietnam Electricity was signed in 2007 to carry out a detailed feasibility study. In January 2011, the Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Investment licensed Vietnam Electricity to make a US$816 million investm ...
