This project aims to establish a comprehensive groundwater monitoring platform in the Lower Mekong Region (LMR) by integrating physical monitoring infrastructure with an online data system. It addresses critical water management challenges in Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Viet nam, with planned expansion into Thailand and Myanmar through the installation of monitoring networks and the development of a regional groundwater model.Beyond its technical components, the project promotes cross-border collaboration between Mekong countries and the Republic of Korea, facilitating knowledge exchange and joint problem-solving. By strengthening regional cooperation and enabling data-driven decision-making, the project contributes to the long-term goal of sustainable groundwater management across the LMR. Read more...
