MEKONG. PHỤ ĐỀ VIỆT NGỮ

.
From its source in the Tibetan Plateau, the Mekong River travels over four thousand kilometers through six countries, eventually flowing through the vast Mekong Delta of Vietnam and into the sea. More than sixty million people rely on the river for their culture, livelihoods and food security. The Mekong basin, however, is rapidly changing. Hydro power dams on the Mekong mainstream are soon to be built. Critically claimed, the film MEKONG examines the issues of hydro power development and its impact on Mekong River citizen's lives.

MEKONG-CỬU LONG …DÒNG SÔNG NHƯỢC TIỂU - Phần 7: Video Clips of Khone Phapheng Waterfall


  • Thác Khone Phapheng  (Laos) - April 2016 - By LymHa


The Khone Falls and Pha Pheng Falls (Lao: ນ້ຳຕົກຕາດຄອນພະເພັງ) is a waterfall located in Champasak Province on the Mekong River in Southern Laos, near the border with Cambodia (Khmer called "Labak Koun").

Champasak (or Champassak, Champasack – Lao: ຈຳປາສັກ [càmpàːsák]) is near the borders with Thailand and Cambodia. The capital is Pakse, but it takes its name from Champasak, the former capital of the Kingdom of Champasak.

The Khone Falls are the largest in Southeast Asia and they are the main reason that the Mekong is not fully navigable into China. The falls are characterized by thousands of islands and countless waterways, giving the area its name Si Phan Don or 'The 4,000 islands'.

The highest falls reach to 21 metres (69 ft); the succession of rapids stretch 9.7 km (6.0 mi) of the river's length. The average discharge of the cataract is nearly 11,000 m3/s (390,000 cu ft/s), though the highest volume on record was reached at over 49,000 m3/s (1,700,000 cu ft/s)
