VTV.vn - On the occasion of the World Environment Day, this morning the Environmental Management Department launched a campaign to clean up the part of Mekong river running through Vinh Long Province.

This campaign will remove floating waste by using solar powered boats. Indiscriminate disposal and discharge of waste water has turned the Mekong River into one of the ten most polluted rivers in the world. About 70 million people in six countries namely China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, rely on the Mekong River for their livelihood.
