AMRC CD-ROMs

Mekong Quest

The Mekong Quest CD-ROM is an AMRC product geared to high school education. The multimedia program is designed to provide an entry point to the geography of the Mekong River and the people, countries and ecosystems that are connected to it. It includes interactive material about Mekong issues and geographic concepts regarding Australia's neighbouring Asian countries, as well as the role of Australia in the Mekong Region. Based on the internationally renowned, inquiry-based learning format of 'webquest', Mekong Quest engages students through visual literacy as well as the written word.

Negotiating River Basin Management: Lessons from the Mekong

This CD-ROM is based on the outcomes of the River Dialogue process, both in Australia and in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand, during 2002. The CD-ROM contents include sections dealing with themes in river basin management (with case studies on the Se San Basin, blasting of Mekong rapids and Pak Mun dam), stakeholder dialogue and links between the Murray-Darling and Mekong river basins. Video clips taken at the Brisbane and Ubon conferences provide living illustrations of the diverse perspectives on river basin management.

Dialogue on River Basin Development and Civil Society in the Mekong Region

This first AMRC CD-ROM was produced in time for the River Dialogue conference in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand, in early November 2002. The Australian component of the Dialogue took place in late August/early September 2002. Although modelled on the AMRC website section "Dialogue on River Basin Development and Civil Society in the Mekong Region" (under 'completed projects'), the CD-ROM features additional video footage of the Brisbane conference.
