Potential NbS measures

This case study area is located in Kampong Chhnang province, covering flooded forests along the Tonle Sap River, which connects the Mekong River with the Tonle Sap Lake.

Stress & Pressure

The Mekong Upper Delta supports extensive agricultural production. This area used to be characterized by naturally occurring wide spread floods in the wet season (see figure above).

Potential NbS measures

Upscaling flood-based agriculture systems and natural floodplain protection is proposed as a Nature-based solution for this region.

Improving riverine wetland ecosystems

Maintaining habitat connectivity is essential for species movements, resource flow, and ecological processes across landscapes.

Stress & Pressure

Large areas of Lao and Thailand were previously considered wetlands. These wetlands were crucial sources of water and food, providing rice, fish, and waterfowl, and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people.

Potential NbS measures

This case study area is located at Goot Ting wetland in Thailand, along the Mekong River, five kilometres south of Bueng Kan District, Bueng Kan Province.

Benefits

Restoration efforts, such as adjusting levee positions, lowering floodplain elevations or installing culverts, are expected to activate floodplains and promote hydrologic connectivity.

Flood-based livelihood implementation

Flood-based livelihood is a type of livelihood or economic activity that relies on the natural occurrence of floods and the use of floodplains.

Identify areas that are threatened to deteriorate

According to Kummu and Sarkkula (2008), cumulative impact assessments suggest that dry-season water levels are expected to rise, while wet-season water levels are likely lower than the current conditions.

Identify areas that are worthwhile protecting

By referencing the inundation map created by Kummu and Sarkkula (2008), it is noticeable that certain sections of the flooded forest in Tonle Sap Lake remain unaffected by the inundation resulting from elevated water levels during the dry season.
