Hej
Byggandet av kraftverksdammar i Kina och Laos ställer till det nedströms, så här ser det ut i Nakhon Phanom just nu, vattennivån är på rekordlåga 1.5 m och mängder av sanddyner träder fram ute i flodfåran.

Sand dunes are now being exposed for the first time in a century along many sections of the Mekong River, as water levels fall to a new low milestone of 1.5 metres. Sand dunes can now be seen along many sections, causing problems for fishing vessels and cargo boats trying to travel along the river.
The Bangkok Post reports that insufficient rainfall is leaving many reservoirs in Nakhon Phanom, on the Laos border, at only 20 – 30% of their usual capacity, with the Mekong’s tributaries now running dry.
