Provincial authorities in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta are going to great lengths in order to mitigate the damage for local farmers during this year’s saltwater intrusion season.
Saline intrusion may encroach further on the inland waterways of the Mekong Delta and reach its peak between February 25 and March 4, the Southern Institute of Water Resources Research anticipated.
By mid-February, many canals in Phu Vinh Commune of An Giang Province – the gateway to the Mekong River in Vietnam – had been almost depleted, which troubled the irrigation plans of local farmers.

The bitterly cold weather is here to stay in northern Vietnam, with chances of temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius in mountainous areas, whereas people of the Mekong Delta are facing another wave of saltwater intrusion.
The continuation of cold weather is anticipated by the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
As of Sunday morning, Hanoi’s Ha Dong District had seen temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius, while those in various northern upland locations dropped to one digit or lower, with Mount Mau Son of Lang Son Province recording minus two degrees Celsius and Sa Pa Town minus 0.7 degrees Celsius.
