The Bolaven Plateau is located in the
far south of Laos.
It is an elevated area of some 5,000 km2
which extends over parts of Champasak , Saravan and Attapeu Provinces.
The southern and eastern parts
of the plateau rim form a very steep escarpment which changes elevation from about 1,000 to 1,200 metres above sea level over a distance of only a few kilometres.
The escarpment is an excellent site
for a high head power scheme.
