Mekong Delta takes preventive measures against saline intrusion in next dry season
Local authorities in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta have begun taking measures to cope with the effects of saltwater intrusion and drought in the upcoming 2020-21 dry season.
Local authorities in Can Tho City and the delta’s 12 provinces, have warned farmers to sow rice and other crops in the dry season under certain schedules and in areas that can secure irrigation water. The provinces in coastal areas have upgraded irrigation systems to protect crops and aquaculture.
