The recent drought has wreaked havoc on Ca Mau province. Many problems need to be solved including water shortage and landslides. In the freshwater area of Ca Mau province, the water level of the entire irrigation system is very low.
According to the local Water Resources Department, Level 1 canals have about 0.5 meters of water. Level 2 and Level 3 canals have dried up.
