Beijing [China], July 14 (ANI): China's construction of large hydropower dams along the River Mekong is causing problems downriver, leaving the region dry having devastating impacts on water availability and the fertile soil that feeds hundreds of millions of people in Southeast Asia.
Fabien Baussart, in a blog post in The Times of Israel, said that the people living along the river and even those dependent on its water are now staring at survival.
The gravity of the problem can be gauged from the fact that Laos, which has a poor rating for transparency and accountability, has planned to build 140 dams on the Mekong and its tributaries with financial assistance from China.
