Dams upstream slowly killing the mighty Mekong
The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) on Tuesday released satellite images showing a drastic drop in the water level of Mekong River this Sunday compared to images captured on January 3.
“The water level of Mekong River has dropped considerably in the past month,” the agency said. “The sediment is now clearly visible under the water, which is now dark blue, while several sand bars have emerged in the middle of the river.”
