Thousands of people in Vietnam are suffering a “severe” shortage of fresh water because of drought and salinisation.

A state of emergency over the shortage of water for domestic use was announced on April 6 for the Tan Phu Dong district.

The province’s Tan Phu Dong area – with 12km of coastline along the South China Sea, criss-crossed by waterways – has been particularly badly hit. Relevant agencies have been asked “to transport fresh water to ponds and reservoirs in the district to maintain fresh water supply to people there”, the report said.
