Cambodian Flood Warnings After Laos Dam Collapse
Hundreds missing after dam collapses in Laos
AFP | Publication date 25 July 2018 | 09:44 ICT
THE Ministry of Water Resources on Tuesday warned residents and authorities in Stung Treng province to prepare to evacuate after a hydropower dam in Laos collapsed on heavy rain, leaving hundreds missing and an unknown number feared dead.
The dam in Laos’ Attapeu province is around 70km from the Cambodian border. Water from the dam enters the Se Kong River, which flows into Stung Treng town.
The ministry said it has notified Stung Treng provincial authorities and advised people living along the Se Kong River – part of which forms the Cambodia-Laos border – to be ready to move to higher ground.
The partly built hydropower dam in southeast Laos collapsed after heavy rain and sent a wall of water surging through six villages, state media and contractors said on Tuesday.

How long before that extra water gets as far as PP
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Cambodian Flood Warnings After Laos Dam Collapse
That is what a few were worried about in Kampong Cham.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Can only be result of bad build. What in store for the other fine builds in this fine land.

So much for Laos hoping to be "the battery of Asia"

Re: Cambodian Flood Warnings After Laos Dam Collapse
MRC doesn't appear to show the rise as yet, nor any updates to their forecast. Recordings are taken at 7am this morning. I guess tomorrow morning's measurement will have a give a better idea of the possible effects downstream.

Re: Cambodian Flood Warnings After Laos Dam Collapse
MRC has a website with real-time monitoring of water levels(http://monitoring.mrcmekong.org/). Siem Pang (in Stung Treng province) has already reached alarm level and is creeping towards flood level. You can also clearly see the 'level jump' when flood waters from the dam burst in Laos reached the station.
