Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) for the Cambodia–Mekong River Delta Aquifer (pending)
The TDA will present a comprehensive joint scientific and socio-economic assessment of the CMDA aquifer. It will identify key transboundary concerns, causal chains, and priority risks such as over-abstraction, saline intrusion, and land subsidence. The TDA will be validated by national stakeholders in Cambodia and Viet Nam and endorsed through the Regional Project Steering Committee. Reference: PRODOC, Component 1 (pp. 33–35). In progress
