The Mekong River


The Mekong River is located in Asia. It runs through China's Yunnan province, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Scientists, biologists, or anybody that cares about cleaning the water and helping the people that rely on the river water visit this place. Scientists may want to visit because they can study the creatures in the water. Biologists may want to go because they can learn more about the river and the area around it. Also, people that care and want to help try to clean the river may visit because it is a water source and food source for the people that live by this river.
The Mekong River is full of fish. The water is calm. The Mekong River is also an example of Earth's water. It is a home as well as a source of food and water for the people that live around the area. The river reveals that even some of the dirtiest water holds life. People even depend on the water and the life underneath. The relationship between Earth's waters and humans is huge because we NEED water to survive. These people that rely on this water are getting sick because the water is so polluted. If we don't act soon and help out these people, their population may suffer terribly.
