Quảng Ngãi’s reservoirs suffer low water levels

QUẢNG NGÃI —Water levels in most reservoirs in the central province of Quảng Ngãi have fallen to  五 五 per cent of their total capacity, according to a survey by the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

In the same period last year, the water levels reached  七 八. 五 per cent of designed capacity.

Many reservoirs were reported to be at extremely low levels including Hóc Dọc at  七 per cent, Thới Lới at  一 七 per cent, Liệt Sơn at  二 一 per cent and Sở Hầu at  三 九 per cent capacity.

The Provincial Hydro Meteorology Station said rainfall in the su妹妹er-autumn crop this year is likely to be low while the temperature is predicted to be higher than the average in previous years, causing a high risk of water shortages and saline intrusion.

The local Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has asked the central Government to provide VNĐ 一 五0 billion (nearly US$ 六. 四 million) to fight drought.

The provincial People's Co妹妹ittee has also implemented measures to combat drought, water shortage and saltwater intrusion in  二0 二0.

The agricultural sector also reco妹妹ended farmers switch from growing rice and other crops to drought-resistant crops and trees this year.

Local agricultural officers were assigned to guide farmers on advanced farming techniques and establish and expand farming models that are appropriate for the province’s dry conditions.

The province is also speeding up the construction of irrigation works. — VNS
