The Sambor Dam is a proposed dam and hydroelectric power station on the Mekong River south of Sambor village in Prek Kampi District, Kratie Province, Cambodia. If built, it would be the lowest dam of the Mekong's mainstream dams, and largest in Cambodia. The Cambodian Government sees the dam as an important potential source of income and if the dam is constructed, expects to sell 70% of the power generated to Vietnam and 10% to Thailand. The balance would be directed to domestic energy markets. The dam's construction is opposed by several non-governmental organizations and civil society groups. ==History== The Sambor Dam was first proposed in the 1950s. In the early 1960s, the Australian Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority conducted a survey on the site. However, the work was suspended due to security reasons.〔 〕 In 1994, the Mekong Secretariat proposed in its report construction of the hydroelectric structure blocking the entire river.〔〔 In October 2006, the China Southern Power Grid Company signed a memorandum of understanding with Cambodia's Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy at the Greater Mekong Subregion Expo in Nanning, China, to carry out a new feasibility study for the proposed dam with power generation capacity of and for the alternative option of . The company also undertook a geological study of the site. A report authorized by the Mekong River Commission and released in January 2010 recommended that the Sambor along with the Stung Treng Dam be delayed for 10 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sambor Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
