This project focusses on the challenge of repurposing large-scale hydraulic infrastructures to serve climate objectives, and aims to advance understanding of changing entanglements of rivers, infrastructure, and power relations in a time of climate change. It expects to contribute novel insights into water and climate change governance within and beyond the Mekong Region. Bridging political-ecology and infrastructure studies, planned outcomes include conceptual innovations that advance critical studies on river engineering. The project should benefit policy-makers, practitioners and advocacy groups in the Mekong and in Australia seeking to improve interventions and strengthen the coping strategies of vulnerable riverine communities.

该项目的重点是重新利用大规模液压基础设施来实现气候目标的挑战，并旨在在气候变化时期促进对河流，基础设施和权力关系的变化的理解。它预计将为湄公河地区内外的水和气候变化治理提供新的见解。计划的结果桥接政治生物学和基础设施研究包括概念上的创新，这些创新可以推进河流工程的批判性研究。该项目应受益于湄公河和澳大利亚的决策者，从业者和倡导团体，以寻求改善干预措施并加强脆弱河流社区的应对策略。
