Sedimentation and survival of the Mekong Delta: A case study of decreased sediment supply and accelerating rates of relative sea level rise
The Mekong Delta, early in the twenty-first century, is at a tipping point for sustainability. The
delta is threatened by the implications of (1) damming and land-use changes in the drainage …
