Assessment of the impact of climate change and mining activities on streamflow and selected metals loading in the Chindwin River, Myanmar

This research paper assesses the combined impacts of climate change and mining activities on streamflow and heavy metal loading in the Chindwin River, Myanmar, using hydrological and geochemical modelling.

• Climate change is projected to reduce future discharges at most monitoring stations by 3.4% to 36.5%, although the Mokekalae station is expected to see an increase of 1.3% to 9.4%.
• Projected heavy metal loading under future climate conditions is expected to follow a decreasing pattern, mirroring the projected discharge patterns.
• The highest load effluent for arsenic and mercury occurs between the Naung Po Aung and Uru downstream stations, while the highest load of iron effluent is found between the Uru downstream and Mokekalae stations, across both baseline and future climate conditions.
