Rising Mekong No Cause for Alarm: Engineer
A state engineer Thursday (Jan, 17) dismissed panicked reports in the media and online that the Mekong River is about to flood.
Water released upriver from Thailand by a Chinese dam has caused levels to rise downriver between Thailand and Laos, but despite local news and social media reports of inundated vegetable plots, there’s no reason to worry, according to the irrigation department engineer.
