VIETNAM - THESIS: We are against the construction of the dams on the…

- - - - Vietnam is pushing for the rapid completion of two scientific studies which the Xayaburi and Don Sahong dams threaten "significant harm" to Cambodia's and Vietnam's national interests.
        
        Laos was violating the 1995 Mekong Agreement, by which any mainstream project requires prior consultation. As they ignored other country's suggestions, made the dams by themselves.
        
        The Lao government to temporarily suspend construction of the Xayaburi dam for 1 year.
        
        60 million Cambodians, Laotians, Thais and Vietnamese whose lives and livelihoods are threatened by the Xayaburi dam
        
        The current government's ill-conceived US$10 billion flood protection "non-plan" is stalled due to strong public protest against some 20 proposed dams.
        
        Damming is only halfway complete, bad for both sides.
        
        Thai leaders hold a 25% stake in the project, facing tough choice: Stop the Xayaburi now, either by suspending their syndicated loan or persuading the Thai government to cancel the power purchase agreement, or face the growing displeasure of the Vietnamese government and even greater losses when Vietnam eventually stops the project next year. Huge risk for investors
        
        Loss of economics for stakeholders in South East Asia countries, if build complete negative impact on Vietnam economic.
    - - These changes may harm native plants and animals in the river and on land.
        
        The change of river flow could cause irregular irrigating to agriculture, as it normally floods during summer, it might flood at winter and cause the deaths of agriculture, especially Vietnam which is in the downstream.
        
        As Vietnam relies on it's agriculture for economic income, this reason will affect the agriculture of Vietnam.
        
        Less labour as it's abundant labour have nothing to do.
    - - Reservoirs may cover people's homes, important natural areas, agricultural land, and archeological sites. Methane, a strong greenhouse gas, may also form in some reservoirs and be emitted to the atmosphere.
        
        Building dams could obstruct fish migration and affect their populations.
        
        Vietnam bears the overwhelming brunt of the pollution because Vietnam is the last country where the Mekong flows.
        
        All the rubbish comes down from the countries through which the river flows through.
        
        Wastes lead to less fish reproducing, which reduces Vietnam's fishery, and decreases its country's economic income from fishery.
        
        Less labour as it's abundant labour have nothing to do.
