Transboundary Environmental Effects of Hydropower: Water Temperature
Abstract Downstream effects of the Lancang cascade of hydropower projects on water temperature were investigated through temperature data comparisons and modeling. Similar to the approach for hydrology (Chap. 4 ), comparisons of water temperature were conducted in part by comparing water temperature between baseline (historical) and post-project periods. Other comparisons were also made, such as comparing post-project water temperature upstream and downstream of a hydropower project and comparing temperature gradients within different river segments and during different time periods. Modeling of actual and virtual development scenarios, in which the effect of a hydropower project could be included or removed, was also used to investigate the consequences of the presence of a particular hydropower project on water temperature. Water temperature data were compiled from existing hydrological stations along the Lancang-Mekong River Basin (MRC data) and additional data collected from gauges installed specifically for the study.
