Mekong Delta to welcome fresh water

VTV.vn - Fresh water from upstream of the Hậu River is bringing much-needed relief to farmers in the downstream regions who are combating severe drought and saline intrusion.

Water flow at Tân Châu in An Giang will reach about 3,200-3,500 cubic metre per second, while this rate in Châu Đốc city will reach approximately 600-750 cubic metre per second. In Sóc Trăng Province, the salinity in some towns like Kế Sách and Long Phú fell rapidly from 4 grams per litre to 0.6 grams per litre. In the coming days, salinity in the downstream provinces of Tiền and Hậu River may increase according to the tides, which will later reduce thanks to the water released further up the Mekong Delta.
