River transportation on mekong has been stopped froa while. Because there is not enough water in the river for the boats to move. This decision was taken after two speed boats collided unable to move. There is going to a drought in Southwest China this month. Laos will face water problem just when the water festival to celebrate the Lao New year next month will happen. this festival attracts a lot of tourists and during this time people splash coloured water on each other like our Holi.
