Historical Background
Until now Cambodia electricity supply has been challenging with high cost and limited facilities which compares to others countries in the Mekong countries.
Plans to triple hydropower output over the next several years to meeting that the demands (Tira, et at, 2010).
Historical Background
Government strongly support strategic plan Hydropower dam project.
Indicating potential places in Country. In Cambodia: totally potential10,000(MW):
– 50 % Mekong mainstream,– 40 % Mekong tributaries– 10% South-Western coastal area.

Aim of Study
Is to study and document on a better understanding of the notification system process on the hydropower and its decision-making from local community to national perspectives.
To study on how does notification process takes place at local communities, national and regional levels.
To identify policy gaps in hydropower development and institutional arrangement that implicated the electricity-power management and livelihoods.
To contribute to learning for students, communities, researchers about hydropower decision- making’s challenges and improving management practices from local communities to relevant stakeholders.
Objectives:
Research questions:
What are gaps in hydropower development and decision-making on warning system needs to be improved and identified?
How these weakness and gaps are identified and solved?
What are impacts of social, economical and ecological aspects from hydropower development and decision-making mechanize? What are the best resolutions or win-win-strategies need to be understood?

Noticed that the notification letter undertake a long process with hierarchy administrations of government offices in order to take action and its responsibility. It takes about several weeks in whole process to reach at affected communities. The slowness is not because of the delivery yet it is because of check and verify and translation works. As a result, it leads to process take several weeks as there is nobody who is in charge directly in this work.
