a, Built, ongoing and planned hydropower dams sized by installed capacity in megawatts (MW) and estimated sediment yields from 552 subregions based on hydrological model simulations from 1962 to 200527. b, Energy mix for the six riverine countries and cross-country power transmission line capacity in the MRB, with all values reported in MW. Note: Our analysis only considers China’s hydropower generation from the upper Mekong River (also called Lancang River; see details in Methods).
