Maps

A wide selection of maps of the Lower Mekong Basin is available. The maps shown below are ready-made and can be ordered online, whereas other maps can be produced on request. All maps are printed in colour.

 

Topography

	This map shows elevation in meters (11 classes), river network and water bodies, major settlements and administrative boundaries for the Lower Mekong Basin in scale 1:2,000,000. The digital elevation model is produced with source data from topographic maps in scale 1:50,000 and 1:100,000. High resolution inkjet print on plain paper.

Forest and land cover, year 1997

	This map shows forest and land cover (i.e. land use, 13 classes), river network and water bodies, major settlements, roads, railroads and administrative boundaries for the Lower Mekong Basin in scale 1:2,000,000. The land use data is derived through visual interpretation of Landsat TM satellite images from 1996 and 1997. High resolution inkjet print on plain paper.

Sub-catchments

	This map shows sub-catchments, river network and water bodies, major settlements and administrative boundaries for the Lower Mekong Basin in scale 1:2,000,000. The sub-catchments are derived from a digital elevation model produced with source data from topographic maps in scale 1:50,000 and 1:100,000. High resolution inkjet print on plain paper.

Watershed classification

	This map shows watershed classes (5 classes from steep and rugged to gently sloping and flat), river network and water bodies, major settlements, roads, railroads and administrative boundaries for the Lower Mekong Basin in scale 1:2,000,000. The watershed classes are derived from a digital elevation model produced with source data from topographic maps in scale 1:50,000 and 1:100,000. High resolution inkjet print on plain paper.

Population density, year 2000

	This map shows in eight classes the population density for the year 2000, river network and water bodies, major settlements, roads, railroads and administrative boundaries for the Lower Mekong Basin in scale 1:2,000,000. The population data source is the LandScan 2000 Global Population Database, developed by Oak Ridge National laboratory for the US Department of Defense (http://www.ornl.gov/gist/landscan). High resolution inkjet print on plain paper.

River network

	This map shows the Mekong River and its tributaries, water bodies, major settlements and administrative boundaries for the Lower Mekong Basin at a scale of 1:2,000, 000. The river network is derived from topographic maps, mainly in scale 1:250,000. High resolution inkjet print on plain paper.

Flood depth (year 2000)

	This map shows estimated extent and depth of a major flood event, river network and water bodies, major settlements and administrative boundaries for the lower part of the Lower Mekong Basin including Tonle Sap and Kratie to Vietnam Delta, at a scale of 1:800,000. The flood depth is based on hydraulic model simulations of the year 2000 flood. High resolution inkjet print on plain paper.

Flood duration (year 2000)

	This map shows estimated extent and duration of a major flood event, river network and water bodies, major settlements and administrative boundaries for the lower part of the Lower Mekong Basin including Tonle Sap and Kratie to Vietnam Delta, at a scale of 1:800,000. The flood duration is based on hydraulic model simulations of the year 2000 flood, complemented and verified with Radarsat images and field surveys. High resolution inkjet print on plain paper.
