Re: river level
the chart has been updated and the river has dropped quite a lot this week. Its now at the same level it was at the beginning of Feb last year
Re: river level
yes, its not quite that low yet but its getting there. There were people fishing on sandbanks when i took these. I just wondering how much is drought and how much is just being held back by the dams in laos, because they will be keeping them full if they expect a droughtKammekor wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 7:17 amOne small difference, we hardly entered the dry season and the rivers are nearly dry, your shot was taken towards the end of the dry season.
I flew in from Taiwan last week and both the Mekong and the Tonle Sap were small streams with loads of islands and huge sandy river banks. Usually there’s much much more water this time of year.
