Efforts to "save" oranges and sugarcane during the drought.

(Baonghean.vn) - Despite the severe drought, sugarcane and oranges in many farms in Yen Thanh and Quy Hop districts remain lush and green.

Farmers have made various efforts to irrigate oranges and sugarcane, such as digging deep ponds to extract groundwater, using water pumps from boreholes and lakes for irrigation, covering crops with straw and rice stalks to retain moisture, etc. In Quy Hop district, there are quite effective drip irrigation models for sugarcane and oranges during the dry season.

Here are some images of efforts to "save" sugarcane during the drought:
