DAT 1 11/10/05 Bank of Mekong River RECORDED IN SPACED OMNIS 2 MKH20 mics Facing the river away from the city 00:45Ambi -cars passing by at top of river bank Josh walking to a place where he can get closer to the river (can't hear walking) 2:31 -3:25 water lapping against bank -nice ambi 3:25 -5:23 PP street ambi -cars passing, scooters passing by, car horns Walking to meet us 6:02 -street ambi 7:19 -meeting Sami -boat motor passing by 7:21 water hitting side of boat (some talking in bg -in eng) Setting up in boat 12:15 boat start up 14:28 MS -Zeb, where are we going? Zeb -what is straight ahead of us is the lower Mekong River JOSH NEEDED TO Reconfigure -above is distorted 14:49 bat slows down ZB I just want to explain where we are. 14:53 ZH -downstream here is the lower Mekong -we are at the intersection of the Tonle Sap river, the Basac Rver and the upper Mekong River and the lower Mekong River. So all of these rivers meet in PP. TAKE TWO -with some motor in the bg 15:21 15:47 ZH right now we are at the intersection of the Tonle Sap River, the Mekong River and the Basac River. And so downstream from us is the Basac river and the lower Mekong and then upstream we have the TSR and the MR and what is interesting about this point is that during the rainy season the Mekong rises and all of the water flows back up into the TSR and fills up the lake 16:16 -MS -the TS actually changes directions 16:17 (zH steps on MS last words) Changes directions -so right now it is the end of the rainy season and right now the Tonle Sap Lake is draining and the TS River whch connects the TS Lake to the Mekong river switches direction and now that water is draining back out of the TS Lake into the MR. 16:35 16:37 MS does it happen anywhere else in the world? ZH -I heard that it happens ¿ DOESn't KNOW WHERE 16:41 MS -and in terms of -you were telling us how important the Mekong river is what is it? In terms of being the most productive fishery in the world? Explain that one to me 1652 ZH -one the reasons why the fishery is so productive is bc of the seasonality of the river. So during the rainy season the flow of the Mekong the flow of the Mekong increases by ten fold or 20 fold -and so all of that water during the rainy season floods out over the flood plains and the forest areas, so the TSap lake is one of -it is the largest of the lake in southeast Asia and it expands from about 3000 sqaure kilometers to 15 thousand square klicks in the rainy season -so you can imagine all of the habitat and nutrients that have opened up for fish. And so all of the fish, during the rainy season, are pmoving up into the TS lake and they are going into all of those floode plain habitats/forest flooded habitats and feeding on all the nutrients -on plants and insects that are available during that time. 1745. MS -most people would think of flooding as something that is a bda thing, but here it is absolutely necessary thing. ZH -yes it is absolutely necessary¿.and so right now the idea is to -for instance there are flood warning systems on the Mekong to make sure that once the floods reach a certain level then it becomes dangerous. But the people here have adapted to the seasonality of the river and so you will see all along the river that everyone's houses are on stilts and... (Notes truncated)
