Hydropower and irrigation development: implications for water resources in the Nam Ngum River of the Mekong Basin. [Abstract only]. por Lacombe, Guillaume, Douangsavanh, Somphasith, Baker, J., Hoanh, Chu Thai, Bartlett, R., Phongpachith, C., Jeuland, M.

“…In the absence of dam storage, current irrigation water demand would compete with minimum environmental flow requirements during dry years. In contrast, full hydropower development allows current irrigation water demand to triple, to reach the potential levels of development, whilst maintaining environmental flows. …”

Managing the irrigation efficiency paradox to “free” water for the environment por Lankford, B., McCartney, Matthew P.

“…Reducing water consumption (equivalent to depletion) in irrigated agriculture ‘saves’ water, freeing it up to be allocated to other sectors, for example, to restore environmental flows. However, this task is not straightforward because consumption is difficult to adjust; there are many scales, motives, actors, concepts, calculations and hydrological practices and processes involved. …”
