General Information Product 126
The U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) is using research and
data from the Mekong River Delta
in Southeast Asia to compare
restoration, conservation, and
management efforts there with
those done in other major river
deltas, such as the Mississippi
River Delta in the United States.
The project provides a forum
to engage regional partners in
the Mekong Basin countries to
share data and support local
research efforts. Ultimately,
Forecast Mekong will lead to
more informed decisions about
how to make the Mekong and
Mississippi Deltas resilient in the
face of climate change, economic
stresses, and other impacts.
