Version 1.2.1,  10 January 2008

  • Added: Links. Information on weather forecasts, flood forecasts, warnings and related information in the Lower Mekong River Basin from member country states and international agencies.

  • Moved: Disclaimer to About this site.

Version 1.2,  30 October 2001

  • Added: Rainfall data. Estimates of actual and forecasted daily precipitation for the Mekong region on a sub-basin level.  The information is presented tabular and in a graph, together with 9 maps.

  • Added: Current and forecasted flood extent maps, and flood depth change maps currently available for stations downstream from Kompong Cham (included). On a daily basis, 6 maps are generated for each of these stations: current, forecasted and change estimates on 50 by 50 km. and 100 by 100 km. maps. Click here for an example.

  • Added: On the Overview page, Upper Mekong page, Central Mekong page, and Lower Mekong page, arrows on the map show the rising or falling of the river levels for the current day.

Version 1.1,  9 August 2001

  • Changed: Buttons for easier navigation

  • Added: A schematic cross-section for each station, showing actual water level

  • Added: A distinction between flood level and alarm level. The forecast graphs and the season graphs show them both if an alarm level is clearly defined (not for all stations)

  • Changed: The water level charts are easier to read by setting variable minimum and maximum y-values (observations are more stretched-out vertically)

  • Added: A link from each station page to an illustrated page with description of flood and alarm levels and flood and alarm stages.

  • Added: Close to 1000 maps. For each station, a series of maps are available on different scales regarding flood risk, land use and topography. In addition, these maps are available for the whole basin.
