Mekong sees worst drought in 90 years
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has ordered relevant ministries and Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta provinces to prioritise the fight against drought and saltwater intrusion which have severely affected agriculture and fisheries and caused a crippling water shortage.
Speaking at a seminar in Can Tho City on 17 February, he said each province should have a comprehensive and appropriate plan for this and mobilise all resources required to implement it.
