What an interesting post. Between, Dubai, China and Singapore they have removed so much sand to extend their borders, and more so China with their ‘island’ in the middle of the China Sea. It is such a sad affair that due to drawing water from underground it is causing the Delta to be sinking, plus the effect of salt water damaging the crops. I’m not sure how much we rely on rice from Vietnam, probably more so from India, but we are fortunate to have our own rice growers which provide most of the rice I use.
This is definitely not a happy ending article. When I first started researching it, I thought it was going to be a quick story. There was so much more to it as I started learning more about the story.
Another interesting article. Thanks.
"It’s not really my place...", then "These old systems have the potential..."
You are much better than I in communicating the VN way.
I guess I have been here long enough to realize I don't know nearly as much as I did when I first arrived. haha
