| Abstract: | The geographical and hydrological features of the Mekong River basin and the nearshore zone of the South China Sea, which
influence the hydrological regime of the Mekong River mouth, are discussed. Detailed characteristics are provided for the
drainage system of the Mekong River mouth area, water flow distribution among the delta branches, processes of the delta submergence
during floods, as well as propagation of tidal, surge-induced level fluctuations and seawater intrusion into the river. Regularities
of the Holocene evolution of the Mekong River mouth area and recent processes of delta formation are also discussed. |
