Mekong falls to critically low level
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times) – The Mekong, one of the largest rivers in South East Asia, is experiencing a historically low level, and Vientiane residents whose livelihoods depend on the river are struggling to sustain their businesses.
Mr Xaysana Bounyalath, who has been fishing in the river near Vat Chan since 1975, said yesterday he had never known the water level be so low at this time of the year.
