The govt wants to build these projects largely just cuz they don't want ppl to go unemployed, and perhaps more importantly, cuz they are DEFINITELY OBSESSED with bigger/taller/heavier/longer mega-projects that "shows" Chinese soft power, which is in itself, a manifestation of extremely low self-esteem on the national level.

Vietnam 2020: Nearly 1,000 square kilometers of durian trees died from seawater attacking the Mekong River in Vietnam. Water for durian 0.3g salt / liter. However, in 2020 = 3g -6g / liter. Many people lost nearly 7,000 USD to buy water but could not save their own durian tree. Farmer's loss = 150,000 A * 65,000 * 15 ( 15 year old Durian tree) + 5000 USD (water purchase cost) = 146 million dollars. In the future, they do not know what to plant in the Mekong river

This just reminds me of that episode of Avatar the last airbender, when the fire nation built a dam which caused the ruin of a local fishing village, and katara had to become the painted lady spirit and destroy it to restore water flow smh...
Well they did channel of the river to aggregate the lands that was infertile and made them into farmlands its a shame the drained so much but those farmlands still function.
@@gustavvanderwesthuizen6173 The Soviets did want to create farmlands. If only they had added anti - infiltration linings to the canals, the wastage would have been minimal (nearly half of the water diverted was either evaporating or seeping away into the ground, needing more water to be moved out). But it was in a similar way, a colossal mismanagement of river projects, which was damaging to the environment.
It has been an unsolvable problem for decades. This might be one the first international media to cover the story. Longlasting drought and sudden floods had happened for many years in this area.
The dam will control water flow, it will prevent floods, In 1998, China had the largest floods and millions of people die, after we built SanXia dam, it has no big flood in the rest of years.
I was there 2019 (Laos, Cambodia, Mekong Delta) The river is seriously in trouble. What should have been 8m of water was 1.5m and the fish are so small (because they can’t get upstream to breed) they were passing through the size of the nets. Salination due to low flow was affecting rice yields in the delta which, I was told, should harvest three crops a year and feed millions. In Laos, all of the power from the dams will go to China for 30 years then the CCP will hand the dams back to Laos - but by then they will be rundown and maintainence costs will be enormous. FUBAR.
The aral sea, as bad as it ended up, was not a deliberate attack on people. They just wanted to grow cotton, and hurt their own people and enviroment as a result. Even then, those people still had an option to move elsewhere in the massive country, while people down the Mekong can't really do that.
@@WilsonianGarveyite You're not wrong, and it wasn't right when America was and is doing it; so it isn't right with China either. But that's not how international politics work.
My fam is in the Mekong Delta. This year is one of the most hottest season and difficult for us of all the time. The water level is so low and salty, people didn't have enough fresh water to use. Most of the land are drying now and became barren, it's very hard for us to cultivate. Because of the Chinese is keeping the water, so the water cannot carry enough dirt and solid to raise the level of the land. In recent years there have been numerous reports of subsidence occurring throughout the delta. My homeland is now sinking into the river and the sea 😢
I mean, there are 70,000 dams in China... they just build and build. They are choking Huang Ho, Yangzte, Mekong, Irrawady, Brahmaputra and other big rivers to death.
This is just the impact of the river changes on humans. Humans are the most adaptable creatures on the planet. Think of the impact these dams will have on animals and wildlife which can't adapt! Once again human greed for money is causing pain and suffering throughout the world.

I don’t think it’s just happening in Mekong, even the Indus, Brahmaputra river in India will be affected sooner or later. It’s about supplying China with more renewable energy and water. They have 20% of world’s population but only 7% of fresh water supply to feed their people! Go do your math! It’s not about political leverage, it’s about survival in a fast fresh water shrinkage world due to climate change... in the near future, every country will be facing big and small water resource constraints.
only 18% of the total flow of the Mekong River comes from the Lancang River (The Mekong River in China is called Lancang River) , the impact is exaggerated in the video

@@jasonsem-k7n Well, you guys know what you're covering up. Someone tries to spread the virus into China because they can't defeat China in a proper way, so they try to kill the Chinese's lives. How evil! Why would I say that? Because there are at least 5 "generations" of the virus, in China, scientists found the third "generation", but in America, they found the first "generation". Different "generations" of the virus exists because of "evolution". So where did it all started? Well, probably America. Also, what is America doing? There are literally hundreds of people dying in their country, and they don't even try to work on vaccines to fight the virus, instead, only sit in an office and talking about how to destroy China. And, it's America that is being offensive and disrespectful to other countries continuously, not China. China does things they should, and avoid doing things they shouldn't, whilst America, is completely the opposite. Besides, if America is that great, why would the Americans kill black people, or in their words, the dogs or bitches? How evil!
@@BorisTin Woah, what a big claim there. US is trying to kill Chinese lives? You got a little too far there, 五毛. Who told you about the "generations" of the virus? The Chinese media which is fully controlled by CCP? You just believe what you read because average people like you don't know anything or don't do scientific research on the virus. With your "USA bad, China good" mentality, you won't understand anything. Killing black lives? I didn't know China has no black racism. Maybe this video will help remind you: ua-cam.com/video/gBvZ6IQwT_s/v-deo.html What about lives of the Uighurs?
This is a nonsense! The average runoff from china in the upstream of the Mekong river is just 15% of the total runoff. I am a personal dam engineer and with a collegous as hydrologist and environment enginner in the Mekong river commission. The major four country in the Mekong river commission is Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. China and Myanmar are basically "marginalised" in the Mekong river commission because they basically "own" very little part of Mekong river. The really problem is basically of those four countries. Laos want to build a lots of hydropower. Vietnam want agriculture. Thailand use it for transportation and fishing and the head in Thailand is already too low there to be utilised for hydropower. Cambodia is generally politically and economically to weak to do anything.
While the video simplifies down how river flow diminishes and changes with dams, it simplifies it down so much you can't understand why and are left thinking that by dint of the fact a dam exists, the river water magically disappears. This is not the case, the reason the down stream river flow decreases is because the dam is built to build up a large reservoir behind it, while the reservoir is filling, flow has to decrease down stream, but once it's full, full flow would be established. The caveat to that being that the evaporation rate of water is tied to surface area. A very deep reservoir that's not very wide won't see much evaporation and so most of the water flowing into it will also flow out the dam, if the reservoir is shallow and wide or just wide in general, much more water evaporates away, decreasing flow. Additionally, many utility companies will dig channels to divert water from the reservoirs to facilitate farming, industry, and drinking water. They're technically able to full divert the flow of the river to those sectors since the dam acts as a plug, but for every gallon they remove, that's one less gallon going down stream. One major benefit to dams is that operators don't normally have the reservoir fully filled, especially going into a rainy season, they'll try and drain it (if it hasn't already been drained to produce power, drinking water, or to maintain the downstream flow) so that when more water starts entering the river from the storms or snow melt, they can maintain a constant flow downstream and just fill the reservoir. This prevents major floods that plague water ways during rainy seasons. One downside to this is that by damming the river, you lose the natural sediment flow that would have gone down stream and naturally fertilized farm lands in the rivers flood plane. Hope this helps anymore wanting to know more about why and how dams effect river flow rates!

I actually think their leaders are extremely intelligent they are fucking over the whole worlds economy and profiting off of it. Not to mention in this time of crisis they have weakened the only country that can challenge them to the point that they can almost do as they please as long as they dont invade other countries well that is the case for now. With the current rate the virus is spreading the US can kiss their position as the only superpower goodbye look at the projects Russia and China is working on Russia wil become the link between asia and Europe becoming extremely wealthy so they wil be able to build all their armada tanks and su57 jets modernizing the army to the standard of the US and meanwhile China is secretly building dozens of nuclear facilities.

Vietnam 2020: Nearly 1,000 square kilometers of durian trees died from seawater attacking the Mekong River in Vietnam. Water for durian 0.3g salt / liter. However, in 2020 = 3g -6g / liter. Many people lost nearly 7,000 USD to buy water but could not save their own durian tree. Farmer's loss = 150,000 A * 65,000 * 15 ( 15 year old Durian tree) + 5000 USD (water purchase cost) = 146 million dollars. In the future, they do not know what to plant in the Mekong river

It has been an unsolvable problem for decades. This might be one the first international media to cover the story. Longlasting drought and sudden floods had happened for many years in this area.
The dam will control water flow, it will prevent floods, In 1998, China had the largest floods and millions of people die, after we built SanXia dam, it has no big flood in the rest of years.

Last time I was this early the Mekong wasn't destroyed yet.
I was there 2019 (Laos, Cambodia, Mekong Delta)
The river is seriously in trouble. What should have been 8m of water was 1.5m and the fish are so small (because they can’t get upstream to breed) they were passing through the size of the nets. Salination due to low flow was affecting rice yields in the delta which, I was told, should harvest three crops a year and feed millions. In Laos, all of the power from the dams will go to China for 30 years then the CCP will hand the dams back to Laos - but by then they will be rundown and maintainence costs will be enormous. FUBAR.

Most of the land are drying now and became barren, it's very hard for us to cultivate. Because of the Chinese is keeping the water, so the water cannot carry enough dirt and solid to raise the level of the land. In recent years there have been numerous reports of subsidence occurring throughout the delta. My homeland is now sinking into the river and the sea 😢
what thats a lot of dams for a single river 🙄
I mean, there are 70,000 dams in China... they just build and build. They are choking Huang Ho, Yangzte, Mekong, Irrawady, Brahmaputra and other big rivers to death.

How evil! Why would I say that? Because there are at least 5 "generations" of the virus, in China, scientists found the third "generation", but in America, they found the first "generation". Different "generations" of the virus exists because of "evolution". So where did it all started? Well, probably America. Also, what is America doing? There are literally hundreds of people dying in their country, and they don't even try to work on vaccines to fight the virus, instead, only sit in an office and talking about how to destroy China. And, it's America that is being offensive and disrespectful to other countries continuously, not China. China does things they should, and avoid doing things they shouldn't, whilst America, is completely the opposite. Besides, if America is that great, why would the Americans kill black people, or in their words, the dogs or bitches? How evil!

Winnie the pooh strikes again!!!!!!
The rainy season in Cambodia almost ends, but the level of the river is still low. We are concerning about its consequences 😌
This is a nonsense! The average runoff from china in the upstream of the Mekong river is just 15% of the total runoff. I am a personal dam engineer and with a collegous as hydrologist and environment enginner in the Mekong river commission. The major four country in the Mekong river commission is Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. China and Myanmar are basically "marginalised" in the Mekong river commission because they basically "own" very little part of Mekong river. The really problem is basically of those four countries. Laos want to build a lots of hydropower. Vietnam want agriculture. Thailand use it for transportation and fishing and the head in Thailand is already too low there to be utilised for hydropower. Cambodia is generally politically and economically to weak to do anything.
The video literally showed that China already built 8 dams... why you guys always blame others.... 为什么？Own up like men
The CCP wants to know your location...
While the video simplifies down how river flow diminishes and changes with dams, it simplifies it down so much you can't understand why and are left thinking that by dint of the fact a dam exists, the river water magically disappears. This is not the case, the reason the down stream river flow decreases is because the dam is built to build up a large reservoir behind it, while the reservoir is filling, flow has to decrease down stream, but once it's full, full flow would be established. The caveat to that being that the evaporation rate of water is tied to surface area. A very deep reservoir that's not very wide won't see much evaporation and so most of the water flowing into it will also flow out the dam, if the reservoir is shallow and wide or just wide in general, much more water evaporates away, decreasing flow. Additionally, many utility companies will dig channels to divert water from the reservoirs to facilitate farming, industry, and drinking water. They're technically able to full divert the flow of the river to those sectors since the dam acts as a plug, but for every gallon they remove, that's one less gallon going down stream. One major benefit to dams is that operators don't normally have the reservoir fully filled, especially going into a rainy season, they'll try and drain it (if it hasn't already been drained to produce power, drinking water, or to maintain the downstream flow) so that when more water starts entering the river from the storms or snow melt, they can maintain a constant flow downstream and just fill the reservoir. This prevents major floods that plague water ways during rainy seasons. One downside to this is that by damming the river, you lose the natural sediment flow that would have gone down stream and naturally fertilized farm lands in the rivers flood plane.
Hope this helps anymore wanting to know more about why and how dams effect river flow rates!
Why do we let China do whatever they want? I swear that country makes me mad.
