VTV.vn - Although it’s now not the peak of the dry season in the Central Highlands, Gia Lai province is facing water shortages, with fields, ponds, and lakes completely running dry.

This has not only caused difficulties for production but also raised costs and affected crop productivity. According to a forecast by the local hydrometeorological station in the Central Highlands, the drought will cause a more severe water shortage than in previous years. In March alone, the area affected by the drought will expand and could potentially account for 60% of the province's area.
