Clean water for needy people in Ben Tre |
Currently, droughts and saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta have developed into a complicated situation.
Although ponds and water tanks have been built, the shortage of clean water is still common. In Ben Tre, saltwater has penetrated most localities in the province. To partially ease difficulties for people, on March 10, the Logistics Department of Military Region 9 (MR9) transported three tankers containing nearly 500 cubic meters of clean water to the people in salt saturated areas in Ben Tre province.
Accordingly, water will first go to policy beneficiary families and poor households in Tien Long commune, Chau Thanh district and Phuoc Long commune, Giong Trom district. For households unable to get water at distributing spots, water will be brought to them by officials and soldiers.
