Hydropower project in Cambodia helps fish to come home

STUNG TRENG - In early April in Sesan district of Stung Treng province, Cambodia, the reservoir of Lower Sesan II Hydropower Station was sparkling with water merging with the azure sky.

On the right bank of the dam, a clear stream flows through the woods downstream of the saddle dam. This is the nature-like fishway of the station.

The $781 million project is a three-way joint venture of China's Huaneng Hydrolancang International Energy, which has a 51-percent stake, Cambodia's Royal Group (39 percent) and Vietnamese EVN International Joint Stock Company (10 percent).
