40. Field visits by the authors in June 2008 confirmed that roads and other support infrastructure for the Luiku dam had indeed begun. Brown et al. ('Socioeconomic vulnerability in China's hydropower development') report that site work was evident at Songta, Maji, Yabiluo, and Saige as well as Liuku in 2005.
41. Notably, there were already 48 small hydropower stations, each with below 25 MW in power generation, built on the confluence of the Nu and various tributaries in Nujiang Prefecture by 2002. The total installed capacity of these dams is 43,231 KW per year (Xiang and Zhang, 'The hydropower resources of Nu Jiang'), yet it is unclear how dams along the main stem might affect hydropower production in these stations.

53. Like many villages in China, Xiaoshaba consists of several 'natural villages'. The natural villages that will be affected by the Liuku Dam are called 'Group One', 'Group Two', and 'Group Three'., The authors gratefully acknowledge the Goldfarb Center for Civic Affairs and Public Engagement for underwriting the data collection, One mu is just under 1/6 acre., At the time of the survey, US$1= RMB 6.8 at official exchange rates

55. Despite the lack of official announcements, rumors about the levels of compensation were circulating throughout the villages during our site visits: compensation for inundation land was rumored to be RMB 17,000 for dry land and RMB 27,000 for paddy land, and the lump-sum resettlement payment was rumored to be between RMB 10,000 and RMB 40,000 per person
