on water resources– Serve as an indicator of any potentially significant social

impacts– Serve as the need for precautionary measure

Historical process:

– SIMVA 1 (2004-2006): Literature review for SIM and VA

– SIMVA 2 (2008-2010): Pilot Study for the Mekong Corridor

– SIMVA 3 (2010-2012): Baseline Survey for the Lower Mekong Basin
