The prolonged heat has caused many irrigation dams, streams, and creeks of the people to dry up and lose their water supply function. This has put the fields in the mountainous areas of Nghe An at risk of total loss. Many areas have reached the time to plant rice and sow rice, but due to the heat, they have not been able to do so.
