Water crisis looms as short monsoon, El Nino hit southern reservoir

A large reservoir that supplies water for Ho Chi Minh City and nearby provinces has seen its water level falling rapidly, signalling a possible severe shortage for the whole region, experts said.
 
“Low rainfall as an impact of El Nino has significantly lowered the water level of Dau Tieng Reservoir,” said Nguyen Van Dam, director of the HCMC Irrigation Service Company.
