Critical impact on the Mekong River ; วิกฤตแม่น้ำโขงกับผลกระทบ
Mr. Sawang Chaisonk, Umt.
News Mekong dry until the deal spread quickly. Many put the blame for current China But China denied it out confusedly
The fact that the Mekong River. The origin of glass Tang Shan mountains in the Tibetan Himalayas. Mainland China and flows through Yunnan and the other 5 countries namely Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and flowing into Vietnam in the South China Sea. The river is 4,909 kilometers long from the data of development the lower Mekong. (With the support of UNESCO. To develop the Lower Mekong Basin. Economic benefits. Society members to the Mekong River Commission) to evaluate the potential of bringing water to produce electricity can be 37,000 MW, if the good water management. Can be used in the irrigation area by more than 37 million hectares to make 15-16 million tonnes of rice while the sources in the Mekong fish abundance in the world with more than 1,300 fish species.
Now, the Mekong River to dry down to a crisis called "crisis Mekong result of the survey committee Mekong River (Mekong River Commission) or MR C (MRC) found that the water level dropped low of around 20 years, resulting in residents of the Lower Mekong River, namely Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, according to the same difficulties that many of these people may think that is the consequence of global warming. Because from the beginning of year Our world are faced with serious natural disasters continued non stop. From climate change fall rain season snow - sleet storm earthquake tsunami and drought are the last crawl into the silence.
However, those group of conservation NGOs, including people living along both sides of river house 4 million live in countries such as Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam to not to blame global warming. But put the blame to China as the number one suspect. As a dam blocking the upper Mekong River. But China also go into decline by Chen Hai too short Counsel politics and news of the Chinese Embassy, said the drought situation in the northeastern and northern Thailand. Include all countries in the Mekong Basin million Craftsmen. And the alleged undisputed evidence that Dam in China is causing the fact that at the end of 2552 coming from Yunnan, Sichuan Hui Zhou also recently experienced severe drought to water each stage arguments contend ago Accusation that it is incorrect
Chen further said in the statement of the Mekong River Commission (MRC c) states that in 2005-2009 the North and Northeast of Thailand experiencing drought conditions. Because the rain fall than the average threshold. Especially in the area of Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai is the falling average only 20 mm instead of 52 mm is the normal cause. The water in the lower Mekong. I say that area of the Mekong River in China Covering 23.5% of the entire Mekong River. And the total amount of 60,400 million cubic meters of water or 13.5% of the entire Mekong River that flows into the sea. Hereby confirm that even China will build dams to produce real power. Did not affect the downstream countries. In addition, China Daily newspaper. And newspapers. Nan Fang of China News confirms that the Mekong River recedes because of drought separate The dam because it does not find. And now China is threatening the area south toughest kind. The worst level in 60 years ever, as if to ask for sympathy, even away
Although China will decline. But evidence that China has. China is now a meta Maha projects are large water storage dam on the Mekong River Yunnan. With at least 15 dams with 4 large dams built to the dam is completed yesterday (Manwan). The dam was completed first since 2539 in that same year. David Chan Chao has built dams. (Dachaochan). Both Dam Dam reservoir capacity by 257 million cubic meters. The dam, Ching Hong (Jinghong) is completed in about the same time. And sink capacity 308 million cubic meters later in the year 2544 Government of Yunnan dam Siew yesterday (Xiaowan) basin, which is 9,895 million cubic meters capacity. And the dam was completed in 2555 more North Sa (Nuozhadu) Ang Capacity 12,190 million cubic meters. Will be completed in 2560, these dams are in the beginning. This will be followed by the medium-term to build more such dams Goa local Division. (Gongguoqiao) levee Alan Bath (Ganlanba) and Meng Dam Case (Mengsong) The long-term plan aims to build 14 dams dam which is under investigation
Physical data. "Crisis Mekong River, which offers breathtaking This was a mass of living creatures to sustain life, the Mekong River will be affected both directly and indirectly, in this courageous Dr. exchanges Na Ayudhya former NASA scientists. And experts on global warming. Noted in the seminar titled "Decoding the world extraction end," said a 10 years Northeast will dry hard. Because ice is a source of the Mekong River will melt completely. Of the dam construction in China will be the catalyst.
Harmful effect on the Lam river run dry Sent either directly to the people. And animals if the animal Effects will fall heavily on fish living in the Mekong River from 1,300 fish species, some species have gone extinct. Some reduce it down. If dolphins Sunee Eye In line manager Dolphin Conservation in the Gulf of Thailand, said the Irrawaddy dolphins in the Mekong River is 1 of 5 remaining freshwater dolphins in the world, including Lake Songkhla Lake Selig Rica. Maha Kham River in Indonesia And the Irrawaddy River in Burma. Irrawaddy dolphins are the latest threats in the Mekong River. And Lake Songkhla For the conditions in the Mekong catfish food supply shortage of food reduced the dolphins under the water quality and human threats to dolphins more.
Today in the Thai Mekong River Dolphins were not. But when the former is hearsay from people that Dolphins have found in Thailand We see dolphins in Cambodia and Laos from the data of government agencies involved in fisheries in Laos and Cambodia in the past 2 years was the Loma 80-100 and dolphins were killed each year from accidents and threats. Different year, both 5-6 on the Net. Conditions of the Mekong River to dry. Dolphins need to seek new sources of water depth is more than Because the fish need to breathe on the surface. And must be in the food supply of fish abundance. In addition, the Irrawaddy dolphin and "Giant Catfish" is the animal important symbol of the Mekong River. The affected states also protect Thep General properties. Chi watershed restoration project manager. That the status of the Mekong giant catfish that Since the explosion islands to improve maritime routes in China seaweed chicken food giant catfish. Address by these islands. Have less to with Size of the giant catfish caught during the 2 years left only 120 kilograms from the Mekong giant catfish was found in nature, the largest 150-300 kg
If more people negatively impact the economic, social, political, cultural. And the environment That is, the organ damage ever. Negative effect on the economy. Is the income of the population decline. The revenue from them would be 1.) Products from the fish to find in the Mekong River. 2.) Water Affairs and Tourism. 3.) Agriculture, which requires the Mekong River 5.) Business for shipping / tourists by boat. The income from the business, as mentioned earlier, since that tremendous. But crisis Mekong income dropped. Some businesses even have stopped it. In the case of Mae Hong Son, said loud static fixed Mae Hong Son governor said that problems that occur with drought severity. Need to make the province declared a drought disaster area experienced 42 District 7 District Housing 395 people have suffered 76,232 people 10,569 rai area of agricultural damage and loss U.S. $ 8,716,050 This is the same province. Number is much damage this If the total of all provinces on the coast Kong Certificate of GDP lower rate of course if a broader perspective than this. Mekong River Basin Irrigation Project area has more than 37 million hectares each year, making 15-16 million tons of rice are very comfortable, but when faced crisis Mekong. Numbers in dreams is only a number in the imagination only.
It also has one more season to make money is to objectively pick Khai, Mukdahan, Nakhon Phanom, Ubon Ratchathani province are seasonal visit Naga Naga. Dissipate if the Mekong River close to real income was from this strange event I probably need to shrink by as well.
Affect society. When economic recession because Lam river dry. Chaos in the society will follow. The crime abound With theft To grab hold and run away to kill to acquire property relieve their hardship again. Then divide the group will occur. This is a social disaster. Loss of cultural Do not forget that the Mekong River. The stream of culture The rituals and traditions as diverse as river flow steamer Traditional Boat Race. Culture spy crush giant catfish. If Mekong experiencing this crisis. The cultural dynamic will not be merry If the count on the fresh round  slowly, which negatively impact other systems is a never ending chain. Political disadvantage. Cause misunderstandings in the international level. Especially China, which is upstream with 4 countries are lower. Thrown by the offense to come together. The domestic politics. Is causing chaos in the province support the budget crisis faced the Mekong River. Then it will be envious of the typical Thai politician. Until the result is split among politicians. However, in international politics at this time is likely to improve. When China promised not to build dams Meng Song (Mengsong) while attending the Summit Mekong Lower on April 5, 2553 at Hotel Hyatt Regency Hua Hin, which also will not block the water. then. It will also reduce the damage by the Mekong and fish in 4 countries also signed a "Declaration of Hua Hin. To meet demand balance: on the development of sustainable river basin. Mekong Basin Development Plan through integrated during 2553 - 2558 as well, which in this 4 Lower Mekong countries, China and also invited. Myanmar invited to join the PMC. Myanmar and Laos also invited to join the Mekong River Commission as soon as possible. Will seek to develop the Mekong Basin together. Considered that these phenomena mean good vision of world population
Negative effect on the environment. The Mekong River would dry up the ground around lack of moisture. Lack of a good ecosystem. Trees wither birds eat insects, birds eat fish to reduce pest weeds increase. When the water is still water rot. Pesticide residue concentrations to soil, water, air toxicity, a direct negative effect on the environment. The indirect effect is the result overall. Not everyone that humanity is part of Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and even China and Vietnam has suffered the same page over. But may be less than those who have been adversely directly The words do not have no impact. At least it is on behalf of the suffering that suffer directly.
To clarify the reasons of the total Can see that the Mekong crisis resulting waste. Or things affecting both direct and indirect inevitably So the best way at this time. That we should find a solution shared by Mekong River Yeo their role and make the best Under the vision of the Mekong River that "strive for economy. Social justice and environmental quality in the Mekong's vision of the Mekong River Commission, the international river basin organizations globally. With financial stability to support countries in To the success of the vision of the Mekong "and the mission of the Mekong River Commission that" to promote and coordinate sustainable management and development of water resources and related resources. For the mutual benefit of countries in the Mekong and well-being. "
For encouraging all parties to protect the Mekong River. To the Mekong River, we will be returning to the same breath.
