According to the Department of Management and Construction of Irrigation Works (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment), in the past week, saline intrusion on the estuaries tends to decrease, particularly the Vam Co river area tends to increase slightly, saline boundaries 4 g/l on Cua Long rivers from 37-62 km, from 50-55 km on Vam Co River.
According to the forecast, in the next week, saline intrusion tends to increase on the estuaries, saline boundaries about 4 g/l largest week from 38-43 km on the Mekong estuaries, from 65-70 km on Vam Co River and from 35-40 km on Cai Lon River.
According to the report of the Southern Institute of Irrigation Science, saline intrusion in the Mekong Did has passed, forecasting from now until the end of April, 2025, the flow from upstream to the Mekong Delta increased sharply, saline intrusion tends to decrease. Within the range of 30-40 km from the sea, the possibility of fresh water regularly, convenient for irrigation works to get water, especially when the tide is low.
The Department of Management and Construction of irrigation works also made specific forecasts in the region. In 4,2025, in the Mekong Division, saline intrusion tends to decrease compared to March in March, but it still affects the water of irrigation works 40-50 km from the sea in high tides.
In Vam Co River, the largest saline boundary of 4 g/l in April 420 and may affect the ability to get water of irrigation works from 60-65 km in tide.
And on the Cai Lon river, Cai Lon sewer - the baby put into operation, so saline intrusion is controlled.
The Department of Management and Construction of Irrigation Works has proposed the Departments of Agriculture and Environment of the provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta in the Mekong Delta to continue to strengthen the operation of irrigation works for water for agricultural production and people in the Mekong Delta.
In the coming time, the Department of Management and Construction of Irrigation Works will also continue to organize to strengthen monitoring of information on the upstream water source of the Mekong River, identify and monitor saline intrusion in the dry season in the dry season in 2024-2025, promptly supply to localities to organize production.
