	Mekong River
		In its upper reaches the Mekong is one of the cluster of great streams rising in the plateau between the Salween and Yangtze rivers; the streambed has cut deeply into the rugged landscape through which it flows.
		Along the lower section, formed by the river mouths and by the area to the southwest, sediment carried down from the upper river is in the process of being deposited, and the flooding is less extreme than in the upper sections of the delta.
		The Mekong's flow comes chiefly from rainfall in its lower basin and is a function of the variation in seasonal rainfall caused by the monsoon winds.

	Mekong Summary
		With a 790,000-square-kilometer catchment area, the Mekong is reputedly the world's second richest in terms of biota, carrying 475 billion cubic meters of runoff and 250 million tons of sediment each year during the monsoon season from Yunnan Province to the Mekong Delta or Cuu Long (Nine Dragons).
		The river's source, and therefore its exact length, is uncertain, due to the existence of several tributaries in an inaccessible environment.
		The first European to encounter the Mekong was the Portuguese Antonio de Faria in 1540; a European map of 1563 depicts the river, although even by then little was known of the river upstream of the delta.
