The Mekong is one of the world's great rivers cascading through six Asian countries from the Tibetan Plateau to the South China Sea, connecting China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. How one country uses or changes the waters of the Mekong upstream can have important implications for the health of the river and people downstream.

The 2011 Mississippi River flood was among the largest and most damaging to occur along this waterway in the past century. This major flood event dramatically increased the flow of water and sediment down the main channel of the Mississippi River and its tributary, the Atchafalaya River.

This video clip was captured from a boat while collecting water quality samples on the White River on April 20th, 2011. The gage height at the time was 17.39* feet and discharge was 32,900* cubic feet per second. The conditions seen here are considered bank full, which is the point at which the flow of the river completely fills river channel.
