Letter from IRN to Theun-Hinboun Power Company (THPC) General Manager, Alex Sanford, raising concerns about flooding impacts from the Theun-Hinboun dam, and the company's failure to provide adequate compensation and mitigation measures for fisheries losses and to affected villagers along the Nam Kading. Questions about the planned Theun-Hinboun Extension Project, which is likely to exacerbate these impacts, are also posed.
