PLANNING ZONE OF DISCHARGE AND WATER LEVEL This zone extends from the estimated mean monthly discharge for the baseline scenario down to a lower statistical tolerance level. If a development scenario causes average monthly discharges to fall below this tolerance level then it has not conformed with Article 6A

Article 6A: Example Mukdahan A 300 cumec capacity right bank diversion out of the mainstream is proposed during the dry season, located downstream of Nong Khai, would contravene Article 6A by shifting mean monthly flows at Mukdahan way below the permitted tolerance level. Mean monthly flows after mainstream diversion scenario. Pakse Much further downstream, however, at Pakse, Article 6A is not contravened since, although the dry season mean discharges have been decreased, they still lie above the permitted 6A threshold level as a consequence of lateral inflows and return flows.
