The CPWF Objective
To increase the productivity of water for food and livelihoods, in a manner that is environmentally sustainable, socially acceptable,
and alleviates poverty for disadvantaged groups.
![Page 3: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The CPWF VisionTo help develop more
prosperous and resilient agricultural societies by
improving access to water, and the ways in which it is managed
and used.

Partnerships and networks
Partnerships and networks are the only way to get research results into practice
quickly.
![Page 8: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Integrated research
Complex problems require integrated research to yield integrated solutions

Where we work
![Page 10: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Benefits of being part of CPWF
• International platform.• Science support.• R4D.• Integrated science.• Communications.• Community of practice.

What?CPWF Mekong
![Page 12: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In the Mekong, the CPWF looks ways to optimise the management, use and operation of
dams and their reservoirs.
![Page 13: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why?
![Page 14: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Between them, the GMS countries have a hydropower potential of 1,090,000 GWh.
As of 1999, just 20,500 GWh had been developed.
![Page 15: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The aggregate demand for electricity in GMS is projected to
rise from 108,850 GWh in 1995 to 600,000 GWh in 2020.
![Page 19: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Virtually every study of the impact of the dams on the Mekong System predicts substantial
environmental and social costs as a consequence of their development.
The single biggest change to water use and its management in the Mekong today and into the
future is hydropower development.
![Page 20: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
But these developments also open up opportunities - agricultural, economic, environmental and social.

How?
![Page 23: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The the development of a series of research-for-development projects.
![Page 24: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1. Optimizing reservoir management for livelihoods.
2. Water valuation.3. Optimising the management of cascades or
systems of reservoirs at catchment level.4. Hydropower governance at the basin scale.5. Coordination and change.6. Governance and the development of
partnerships and knowledge-sharing.7. M-POWER – CPWF Fellowships Program.8. Hydropower decision-making on the Mekong.
![Page 25: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We’re looking for new partners, new ideas and new initiatives to help us achieve our vision
![Page 26: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Where?
![Page 27: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Our projects are scaled – they work at the dam, catchment and basin levels.
![Page 28: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
We have chosen to work on one
completed dam (Yalli); one partially
constructed dam (Nam Theun Hinboun
Expansion); and one planned dam (Lower
Sesan 2).
![Page 29: CPWF - Mekong and Global](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c61021a28abdc3d8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The bulk of our field work is in Cambodia, Vietnam and Lao PDR, Project 4 focuses on the basin scale. Future growth into Thailand and China projects.
