I think the author of the Salween River article has confused this river with the Irrawady River. The Salween does not have a delta, but empties into a small estuary north of Moulmein. It is the Irrawady whose large delta forms Myanmar's agricultural heartland.

[edit] Length?

IP-User 88.240.196.242 changed today the length from 2815 km to 2400 km. In de:Saluen is stated:

Durch die Entdeckung der Quelle des Saluen im Jahre 1989/1990 durch den deutschen Geologen und Glaziologen Prof. Dr. Dieter Ortlam (Bremen) und seiner Verbindung über den Amdo-Donak-See zur Tibet-Highway-Brücke bei Megschen (südwestlich der Stadt Nagchu) konnte die Flusslänge zwischenzeitlich mit 2980 km bestimmt werden. (The length of the Salween could be evaluated by Prof. Dr. Dieter Ortlam (Bremen) … to 2980 km.)

Other findings:

• South East Asia River Network: approximately 2,800 kilometers.
• WWF: 2800 km.
• United Nations Development Program: The total length of the Salween is approximately 2,800 kilometers.
