VIENTIANE — The current water level on the mainstream of the Mekong River is significantly below average in northern Laos and Thailand, according to the Mekong River Commission (MRC).
The MRC said levels at the mainstream measuring stations at Chiang Saen, Chiang Khan, Luang Prabang, Vientiane and Nong Khai are below those that occurred in the low flow season of 1993, which followed the most extreme regional drought on record in 1992.
"All mainstream water levels measured north of Strung Treng are significantly below the average for this time of year and are expected to decrease further for another month," says the MRC.
