This sourcebook starts by putting the Sekong River into context as one of the most significant large tributaries of the Mekong, and the northernmost of the 3S Rivers – Sekong, Sesan and Sre Pok. g. An understanding of the various geomorphological characteristics of the Sekong River has been built up from a number of measurable GIS parameters and their distribution within these sub-basins. The purpose of collecting this information is to help to distinguish and classify the different reaches of the river, and their geomorphological and ecological features, so that the effects of changing flow regimes can be assessed. Some characteristic reaches of the Sekong and Se Kamman Rivers are suggested.
