Description

Baseline and future (2036-2065) river water levels and discharges at 4 gauging stations along the Cambodian Mekong (Kratie, Kampong Cham, Chrouy Changva, and Neak Loeung) under different scenarios of climate change (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) and infrastructural developments. Average depth and duration flood maps are also included for each scenario.
