Upstream Partners

Source of the Mekong River

In 1996 The MRC held its first Dialogue Meeting with its Dialogue Partners China and Myanmar.

On 1 April 2002 The People's Republic of China signed an agreement on the provision of hydrological information on the Lancang/Mekong River. Under this agreement China now provides water level data in the flood season from two stations located on the Upper Mekong in China. This information is fed into the MRC's flood forecasting system. Talks are under way to expand this data sharing agreement to include dry season levels. China contributes 16% of the flow of the Mekong River.
