A potentially valuable tool - decision makers and planners, even hydro developers can get a quick idea of the costs, impacts and potential capacity of various scenarios without expensive studies. At the Greater Mekong Forum Peter Cutter of SERVIR told me that WLE had provided the project with a great baseline of mapping data to get started. The WLE dataset was the widest and most accurate available he said, and by developing it further and in a different direction, SERVIR had been able to provide feedback and offer a complimentary service. Let's hope this is used and develops further.
