Mekong Delta incurs $3B annual losses due to salt intrusion
The Mekong Delta region is facing a staggering economic setback, with researchers estimating annual losses exceeding VND70 trillion ($2.96 billion) due to salt intrusion
The findings, presented by the Water Resources Science Institute under the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment at a Friday conference on water resource management, were based on sophisticated mathematical models and satellite imagery analysis. These tools provided insight into the damage sustained by crops and aquaculture, translating the losses into monetary terms for the years 2020-2023.
