The Mekong River starts in the Tibetan plateau and is 4,350 km long. The Mekong River is significant because it can be used for travel, living, trading, fishing, bathing, irrigation, farming and markets. The River plays a major role in many lives and is the only home for the Mekong River dolphin.

The Mekong River holds markets for people to trade, buy and interact with each other. Some of the people who sell items in the market live on a boat on the Mekong River. There are around about 60 million people that live along the Mekong River. the first ever recording of civilization around the Mekong River was around 2100 BC. About 700 years ago the Thai people escaped South China. The Mekong River helped the escape. The French once explored the Mekong River between 1866 to 1868 and found that the Mekong River had extreme amounts of rapids and waterfalls to be used for navigation.

The Mekong River provides many jobs for humans like fisheries, farming, trade, hydroelectricity plants, dams, markets for people. The Mekong River brings down fertile soil down to the mouth of the Mekong River which is perfect for growing crops to sell. Rice is one of the main crops that the locals grow with the water from the Mekong River. It also provides a road for boats to trade along the Mekong River.]]> 2016-08-16 09:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/118400933 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/120462775 Over-fishing in the Mekong River has endangered native fishes like the Irrawaddy dolphin.  There are as few as 34 Irrawaddy dolphins in the Mekong River. This has been caused by humans because they take things and never give things back in return. Humans use nets to catch the fish which can damage the river floor. The effect that humans have made is messing up food chains which then starve or even kill some animals causing a catastrophe. Humans should stop fishing so many fish and should only fish with rods and stick to the baging and length rule which would reduce the amount of fish caught per year significantly.]]> 2016-08-30 02:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/120462775 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121478289 A graph displaying the Mekong River's area basin catchment and flow.]]> 2016-09-04 09:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121478289 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121478615 A graph displaying the population of Laos in 2015.]]> 2016-09-04 09:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121478615 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121478828 A graph displaying the population of  Cambodia in 2014.]]> 2016-09-04 09:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121478828 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121508160 A graph displaying Vietnam's exports of rice through out the crop years.]]> 2016-09-04 23:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121508160 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121661839 2016-09-06 02:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121661839 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121662695 2016-09-06 02:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121662695 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121663432 2016-09-06 02:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121663432 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121664655 2016-09-06 02:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/121664655 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/123350475 A graph displaying the type and amount of fish caught throughout the year in Cambodia.]]> 2016-09-13 07:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/123350475 pmilton_head https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/123370324 2016-09-13 09:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pmilton_head/a2zjhlic67ey/wish/123370324
