   Författare :Joakim Öjendal; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Water; water management; conflict; Mekong; Lower Mekong Basin; Cambodia; development; alternative development; hydropolitics; Southeast Asia;

   Sammanfattning : The general purpose of this thesis is to provide an empirically based study of International River Basin management in order to contribute to the global policy debate on water resources management and the role of water in the development process. The thesis reviews the recent ‘water management’ debate and a number of theoretical positions on the topic. LÄS MER

3. 2. Conflict and Cooperation over Shared Water Resources - In Search of Security for the Lower Mekong River Basin

   Författare :Joakim Öjendal; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mekong; Water Conflicts; Development; Southeast Asia; Cambodia; Regional Cooperation;

   Sammanfattning : The assumption in the thesis is that water has been a common good which is becoming scarce, therefore, it is fought over by many different actual and potential users. Water is, moreover, a life necessity which renders it, in the face of shortage, into a conflict prone issue. LÄS MER

4. 3. Pesticide use in rice farming and its impacts on climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam

   Författare :Thanh Tam Nguyen; Håkan Berg; Michael Tedengren; Cong Van Nguyen; Joachim Sturve; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mekong Delta; Rice field; Climbing perch; Insecticide; Chlorpyrifos ethyl; Fenobucarb; Mixture; Sequential applications; AChE; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : The intensification of agricultural production in the Mekong Delta has faced serious challenges with respect to increased use of agrochemicals and especially pesticides. The indiscriminate use of pesticide could potentially impact on the long-term food production, environmental and human health in the delta. LÄS MER

5. 4. Tropical cyclone induced extreme wind, rainfall, and floods in the Mekong River Basin

   Författare :Aifang Chen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mekong River Basin; Climate extremes; Tropical cyclones; Precipitation; Floods; Satellite data; Reanalysis data;

   Sammanfattning : Increasing magnitude and frequency of climate extremes under global warming are threatening the socioeconomic development in many parts of the world. The Mekong River Basin (MRB) is a good example for how climate extremes can affect society, as the transboundary MRB has experienced hydroclimate changes and fast socioeconomic development during the past decades.

7. 5. Soil Degradation of Raised-beds on Orchards in the Mekong Delta Field and Laboratory Methods

   Författare :Quang Pham Van; Per-Erik Jansson; Khoa Le Van; Ingmar Messing; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; citrus orchards; nutrient; soil fertility; soil strength; soil degradation; alluvial soil; Mekong delta;

   Sammanfattning : Soil degradation is a complex process which may occur anywhere and at any time. It directly affects the physical, chemical and biological processes within the soil profile. Soil degradation can either be as a result of natural hazards or due to manmade actions, such as mismanagement on cropping patterns, soil preparation and cultivation practices. LÄS MER
