Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Development Studies
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Hydropower is often equated with sustainable development, despite known ecological and social harms.
  • The 'hydropower myth' simplifies complex trade-offs, leading to negative consequences.

Discussion:

  • The Mekong River exemplifies the disconnect between the hydropower myth and social/ecological realities.
  • This myth masks inequitable situations and ecological damage.

Key Insights:

  • Decision-makers and developers favor the hydropower myth for political utility and economic benefits.
  • The myth bolsters national power and legitimacy.

Outlook:

  • Challenging the hydropower myth is crucial for equitable and sustainable water resource management.
  • Future development must address the socio-ecological costs.
