Final Deternination of the Source of the Mekong River
ثبت نشده
چکیده
By international convention, the official geographic survey agency of the country in which a river source is located makes the final determination of the source. Also by international convention, the true source is thespring or glacial discharge which is furthest from the mouth of the river. From regional maps, the Zaqu is by far the longest major tributary of the Mekong, joining the Ngomqu near Qamdo in Tibet to form the Lancang Jiang or Mekong River. The two longest tributaries to the Zaqu are the Zayaqu and the Zanaqu in Qinghai, China. These form the Zaqu at Ganasonduo, about 100 km upstream from Zadoi.
