Hydropower plants in Vietnam by June 2016

The dataset includes hydropowers recognized on Google Earth. It is still under-construction. Major source for the dataset comes from WLE 2016 (https://wle-mekong.cgiar.org/maps/). In addition, data and information has been collected from various online public websites.

There are three scales of hydropower: Small (< 30MW), Medium (30MW to 100 MW)

The dataset is presented at country level. Standardization of geographical objects for mapping refers to the instructions of Vietnam's Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. Mapping data does not present any perspective on administration boundaries.
