Factors contributing to saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam
Tóm tắt
The extremity of salinity occurred in the Mekong River Delta of Vietnam. Consequences of saline intrusion are not only increasing pressure to people’s livelihoods, but also leading to unstable food security. Less rainfall, comprising drought, persistent heat/high temperature and high tide significantly contributed to increased saline intrusion in mid- and downstream areas. The degree of saline intrusion would increase and would be more challenging in the future, when the saltwater infiltrate into the upstream of the Mekong Delta.
