Abstract

The Ayeyarwady River Basin is the largest and most economically significant river basin in Myanmar, comprising 66% of the national population, and 61% of the total land area. As Myanmar opens up to political reform and economic development accelerates, it is important to understand the impact of development on the Ayeyarwady, and on the livelihoods and biodiversity it supports.
