“…Exposed lithological strata are dominated by shales (43.2 %), followed by carbonates (21.4 %), shield rocks (18.2 %), sands and sandstone (8.4 %), basalts (5.8 %), and acid volcanic rocks (2.9%) (Amiotte Suchet et al, 2003). The Mekong River basin is populated by 70 million people and this population is expected to increase to 100 million by 2050 (Varis et al, 2012). Recent and fast economic development has substantially increased the use of water resources (Piman et al, 2013), in particular for agriculture, energy (hydropower), and fishery (Västilä et al, 2010).…”

“…3. Based upon computations from the 2 datasets (GWSP, 2008;Hijmans et al, 2005) and values given by different authors (Immerzeel et al, 2010;Karim and Veizer, 2002;Mitchell and Jones, 2005), the average annual basin precipitation is within the range 392 to 461 mm or 446 to 497 km 3 , for the periods 1950, 1961-2007. Varis et al (2012 indicate that the annual precipitation in the Indus basin is less than 500 mm.…”
