The Southern Institute of Water Resources Research today informed that the Mekong River basin has entered the beginning of the rain and flood season in 2021.
Last week, the Mekong Delta provinces and cities suffered from average rainfall of 30 mm, especially in the Ca Mau peninsula.
The significant rains along with the massive volume of water flowing into the Mekong rivers have resulted in the salinity reduction.
