Economic growth of the Greater Mekong Subregion has been drastically increasing in the past few years. Especially as the role of the Mekong River and its tributaries become more important, therefore the evaluation of hydrological data will be necessary for infrastructure development in the future. The timeseries variation of long term hydrological data such as daily precipitation and discharge which are available in Mekong River Commission was evaluated by using the method of regression analysis, excess threshold analysis and probability analysis. As a result, the annual precipitation and the average of discharge have been on a declining trend in southern region of the Lao PDR especially rainy season. On the other hand, the average of discharge in the tributary which has hydro power dam such as NamNgum, Sekong, Sedone has been increasing trend in the dry season. It is also understood that fluctuation range of flood and drought discharge is increasing compare with last 40 years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
