Xayaboury dam has not hindered water flow, officials say
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN) – Government officials have dismissed social media reports that the Xayaboury dam is slowing the flow of water to downstream sections of the Mekong.
The dam is built on the run-of-river model, which does not require water to be stored, the Director General of the Department of Energy Business, Mr Somphith Keovichith, told local media last week.
Water inflow equals water outflow, which is the concept behind a run-of-river dam, officials said.
