The highest daily water levels at stations on rivers, canals and streams in the Ho Chi Minh City area changed slowly last week. The highest weekly water level appeared in the middle of the week, at approximately and below alert level II.
The maximum salinity at most stations occurred in the middle of the week, at a level lower than the same period in 2024 and higher than the multi-year average. The distance affected by the 4‰ salinity boundary from the main river mouth is about 60-65 km.
Salinity in rivers, canals and streams in the Ho Chi Minh City area will be high, potentially causing a shortage of fresh water, seriously affecting people's lives and production.
