The dam break occurred in the auxiliary dam on the west side of the 410,000-kilowatt Sangpang-Sangnamnet Hydropower Project constructed in South Korea. The reservoir rushed out and flooded many villages located 1,000 meters downstream. This reservoir is located in the Pothofen Plateau upstream of the village, and the huge drop intensifies the flood damage. This time the floods hit very fast, and there were few floods in the affected areas before. <br><br>The flooded area is near the border between Laos and Cambodia. The floodwaters flowed from the Sangpian River into the Xigong River, an important tributary of the Mekong River at the junction of the two countries, and then flooded several remote villages in Shangding Province, Cambodia. Obviously, these Cambodian villages have not received notice of the impending flood.
