  • The recently relocated village of Ban Thong Chalern in Sayaboury province, Lao PDR. Ban Thong Chalern consists of three villages (Khmu and Lao Loum) which have been joined together due to relocation because of the ongoing construction of the Xayaburi Dam in Northern Laos. The Xayaburi Dam is a hydroelectric dam under construction on the Lower Mekong River approximately 30 kilometres east of Xayaburi town in Northern Laos. The project is surrounded in controversy due to complaints from downstream riparians and environmentalists that the dam would cause significant and irreversible damage to the river's ecosystem. Funded by a Thai company, 90% of the electricity produced by the dam has already been pre-sold to Thailand.

  • From a high viewpoint, we see two small-scale visitors admiring the neo-Gothic Derwent Reservoir Dam. Not to be confused with Derwent Water in Cumbria, or Derwent Reservoir (North East England) this Derwent is the middle of three reservoirs in the Upper Derwent Valley in the north east of Derbyshire, England. The River Derwent flows first through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir and finally through Ladybower Reservoir. Between them they provide practically all of Derbyshire's water, as well as to a large part of South Yorkshire's and as far afield as Nottingham and Leicester. The reservoir is around 1.5 mi (2 km) in length, running broadly north-south, with Howden Dam at the northern end and Derwent Dam at the south. A small island lies near the Howden Dam.

  • Soo Tou, 29 outside his new home in a relocation village, Steung Treng province, Cambodia. Soo Tou and his wife Ren Way, 26 are from Sre Sronuk Village close to the Sesan River in Steung Treng province, north-eastern Cambodia. 5000 people from 20 villages are being evicted from their homes to make way for a controversial huge new hydropower dam: ‘Lower Sesan 2’, which will flood an area of more than 33,000 square hectares. The young, newly-married couple accepted the dam company’s offer to relocate them in a new concrete house and are among the first few residents of the mostly-empty, half-constructed resettlement site. Communities in this rural region are seeing their traditional self-sufficient farming and fishing lifestyle disrupted by dam building and the impact of climate change on crops, water quality and fish stocks.

In the Nam Ou river valley the first phase of construction on the Nam Ou Cascade Hydropower Project by Chinese corporation Sinohydro has begun, the project will generate electricity, 90% of which will be exported to other countries in the region.  The project will directly affect several districts in Phongsaly province through construction, reservoir impoundment and back flooding resulting in loss of land and assets and village relocation.  The 425 km long Nam Ou river is a major tributary of the Mekong and is the lifeline of rural communities and local economies.

  • A portrait of Laep, a Tai Dam ethnic minority woman and her young son in her home in Ban Nam Bone village, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. Tai Dam married women are easily recognised by their topknots, affixed with a silver hairpin and their tight-fighting blouses which can be one of many different colours. One of the most ethnically diverse countries in Southeast Asia, Laos has 49 officially recognised ethnic groups although there are many more self-identified and sub groups. These groups are distinguished by their own customs, beliefs and rituals. Details down to the embroidery on a shirt, the colour of the trim and the type of skirt all help signify the wearer's ethnic and clan affiliations.

  • Nam Ou Cascade Hydropower Project Dam 6, Phongsaly Province, Lao PDR.  In the Nam Ou river valley the first phase of construction on the Nam Ou Cascade Hydropower Project by Chinese corporation Sinohydro has begun, the project will generate electricity, 90% of which will be exported to other countries in the region.  The project will directly affect several districts in Phongsaly province through construction, reservoir impoundment and back flooding resulting in loss of land and assets and village relocation.  The 425 km long Nam Ou river is a major tributary of the Mekong and is the lifeline of rural communities and local economies.
