Upstream hydropower reservoirs provide water in Mekong Delta Region

The water level in rivers and fields hit the lowest record in the last 30 years. Local people are also facing a lack of water for both farming and daily usage. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, from now until March 22nd, households living 35-40 km from the sea front can take fresh water from the Mekong river thanks to water from upstream hydropower reservoirs.
