Mekong Delta urged to take measures to cope with drought and salt intrusion in 2022
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has issued a directive on the implementation of solutions to cope with drought and saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta, which is forecast to be harsh in the coming dry season.
Reports from the ministry show that the flood water in the Mekong River Delta is currently at approximately the average level of many years. Saltwater intrusion in this dry season was likely to be higher than the average level, affecting the operation and collection of water for agricultural production and people’s livelihoods.
