Tra Vinh (VNA) – The Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh has earmarked roughly 9.2 billion VND (over 396,700 USD) to provide 4,000 drought-hit households in Cang Long and Chau Thanh districts with access to clean water. A 170km-long pipe network will be installed to give nearly 2,800 families in Chau Thanh’s eight communes and over 1,200 households in Cang Long’s three communes, most affected by drought and saline intrusion, access to clean water. These households have suffered water shortage during dry season, making them use unsafe or costly alternatives, such as surface water, rain water or bottled water. According to Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Pham Minh Truyen, Tra Vinh has 158 rural water supply projects, 23 of which are located in areas prone to drought and saltwater intrusion. The installation is expected to finish during this year’s dry season./. … [Read more...] about Tra Vinh: Pipe installation project to give clean water to drought-hit people

Ca Mau (VNA) - More than 43,500ha of forest in the southern province of Ca Mau is at high risk of fire due to prolonged hot weather, according to the provincial forest management, agricultural and rural development departments. More than 14,300ha of forest is at the fifth warning level – the highest. The areas facing the most danger are the U Minh Ha Forest and Hon Khoai island. More than 8,500ha of natural cajuput forest in the U Minh Ha National Park has been put under strict protection. Provincial organisations warned that the dry season this year will last until May with severe hot weather, so the risk will increase. At present, the water level in canals is about 0.5-0.8m lower than the same period in previous years, so it is forecast that several will soon run dry, making it difficult to extinguish fires. Forest management organisations have developed plans to restore water, give training on fire prevention and control to local forces, and educate to local residents on … [Read more...] about Forests in Ca Mau at high risk of fire
