| General Comments: | Addressing sustainable water resources management in transboundary freshwater basins is a complex challenge, particularly when considering the compounding impacts of climate change, hydropower development, and evolving water governance paradigms. Our assessment indicates that the Lower Mekong region would be highly constrained to address sustainable water resources management unless major deficiencies in transboundary water governance, strategic planning, financial capacity, information sharing, and law enforcement are remedied in the next decade. |
