Press Release: THE NINE DRAGONS DRAINED DRY THE EAST SEA IN TURMOIL

Dr. Ngô Thế Vinh is alarmed by the existential threat hovering over the Mekong that is running the risk of being drained dry caused by water diversion and the construction of a series of gigantic hydroelectric dams across her current. The ensuing consequences include: depleted fish stock, reduced agricultural production, seawater intrusion, and potential reservoir triggered seismicity...

Dr. Ngô Thế Vinh traveled to the very source of the river and countries that it meanders through to do on-site research, collect materials to write this book and issue a clarion call to the pressing need of saving the Mekong, its ecology, and the 70 million inhabitants living along its banks.


Advanced testimonials the book received are quite encouraging:

“In an apparent attempt to sound the alarm on the dangers facing the Mekong and the East Sea, Ngô Thế Vinh was first among The Friends of the Mekong to awaken public opinion to this immediate issue which undoubtedly will remain to be so for many decades to come.” Dr. Trần Ngươn Phiêu, author of “The North East Monsoon”

“We are in the year 2016, the Mekong is drying up and its ecosystem gradually degraded. Those geological phenomena are no longer predictions but have become undisputed facts that sadly verify Ngô Thế Vinh’s forewarnings. He is an author who lives with his time and yet sees well ahead of it.” Ánh Nguyệt, former Radio France International / RFI Reporter.
