Living River Siam
Living River Siam is a campaign-based organization, working
to support local communities rights to their water resources, promote local knowledge-based sustainable water resource management,
and oppose threats to rivers and riverine ecosystems in
Thailand and neighbor countries in the Mekong and Salween River Basins, such as
large-scale dams and water diversion projects.
History
 Living River Siam, former Southeast Asia Rivers Network (SEARIN), was launched
on March 14, 1999, the International Day of Action Against Dams and for
Rivers, Water and Life. On 8 February 2011, Living River Siam was registered as Public Benefit Organization (PBO) under Ministry of Social Development and Human Security with the registration number 2487.
Living River Siam was established by academics and NGO activists
who have been working on social and environmental issues in Thailand,
particularly on the environmental and social problems caused by large-scale dams, and state policies on resource management.
