According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of CA Mau, dry season approached early and it was so serious that it badly affected infrastructure, production and people’s lives.
Drought has left canals in the Mekong Delta generally and Ca Mau particularly almost dry causing subsidence in streets with the length of 25 kilometers.
