VietNamNet Bridge – The dry season in 2017 is expected to be less severe than in 2016, but Mekong Delta will still face a lack of fresh water and saline intrusion, scientists say.


Localities in Mekong Delta are now taking initiative in storing water and cooperating with each other in exploiting water sources, getting ready to cope with drought and saline intrusion.
According to the Central Center for Hydrometeorology Forecasting, the 2016-2017 dry season is likely to end later than usual.
