Locals join hands to fight against saline intrusion
In their fight against drought and saline intrusion, farmers in Tiểu Cần District of the southern Trà Vinh Province have contributed their own money to build canals and ditches. Each household in the Trung Tiến Hamlet of Tân Hùng Commune contributes about VNĐ70,000 (US$3) per every 1,000sq.m in order to hire people to pump water. The water is pumped from a big river named Cần Chông to canals and ditches in the interior field.
