By: Songqiao Yao Village above Gongguoqiao Reservoir International Rivers Below is a guest blog by Songqiao Yao, China program consultant for International Rivers, describing her March 2013 trip to the Lower Lancang River. You can read about her trip to the Upper Lancang in October 2012 here. “Now we can still sell some vegetables and feed ourselves, but how are we going to live without land?” Those were the words spoken by several women selling vegetables at a morning market, whom I met during a recent trip to the lower Lancang River . The market was at Biao Cun, a township by the river. The township and its nearby villages would all be inundated by the Miaowei Dam reservoir, which China plans to build by 2016. China plans to build and operate ten additional dams on the Lancang River as part of its 12th Five Year Energy Plan .
