The Mekong River Explained in under 3 minutes

The #Mekong River is 13th longest river in the world, with a #Geography carving its way through the mountainous Tibetan Plateau in southern China and the border regions of Mynamar, Thailand and Laos, until the delta of the Mekong River flows through Cambodia and Vietnam into the South China Sea. The river bears an incredible importance for the 60.000.000 people which live along its banks, since the sediments from the Himalayas pour nutrients into the rice bowl of Asia, the Mekong Delta, which feeds hundreds of millions of people. In recent decades, the Mekong River has also been a cause for geopolitical regions in South East Asia, since more and more countries want to control its flow with hydropower plants. These issues, the geography of the course of the river and more will be covered in this video.
