The RAT-Mekong is a web application for forecasting hydrologic impact and operating pattern of existing and planned reservoirs of the Lower Mekong region.

Reservoir Assessment Tool for Lower Mekong Basin (RAT-Mekong) under the SERVIR-SEA program is an effort to support reservoir monitoring for the Mekong River Commission (MRC) and its member countries in decision-making and planning processes for flood and drought management in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB).
The RAT-Mekong tool, which is open-source, replicable and scalable, aims to mitigate the challenges of data-scarce or data-restricted regions of the Mekong Basin and help the MRC and its member countries derive a broader picture of reservoir monitoring, reservoir operations and the potential impact of operations on floods, drought, natural river flow variability as a function of climate, hydrologic regime, and socio-economic indicators. With transboundary water resource management being a contentious topic in the Mekong region, this tool can facilitate transboundary regional cooperation and governance by providing unbiased data for all parties, needed to drive a fair and transparent water-sharing agreement and improving the decision-making on flood and drought management in the Lower Mekong Region.
