This walkthrough shows users how to use the Mekong Dam Monitor to track how dams currently impact various parts of the Mekong mainstream and its tributaries. It includes step-by-step instructions on how to track river levels, interpret the Natural Flow Model from Eyes on Earth and how it compares against gauge data from the Mekong River Commission, use the virtual gauges to explore water level and flow changes at individual sites, and more. This walkthrough also answers frequently asked questions about how to find information inside the Mekong Dam Monitor.
