This report explores the role of water in the Lower Mekong Basin country economies. It comes at a time when the Mekong is facing the worst drought in decades, and on the heels of some of the worst flooding in recent years. It also comes at a time when hydropower development, the newly minted Sustainable Development Goals, and water governance mechanisms such as the Mekong River Commission and Lancang Mekong Cooperation Initiative, face growing challenges and opportunities.
