Recently, the weather in the province has been complicated, with prolonged hot weather combined with strong southwest winds occurring over a wide area with common temperatures ranging from 39. - 41.0C. Water levels in rivers, streams, and dams are low, drought is widespread and there is a risk of deep saltwater intrusion. Currently, the water source situation for the Summer-Autumn crop production is very difficult. Water levels in lakes are low, especially reservoirs managed by local authorities. Many lakes have dried up, such as: small reservoirs in Nam Dan district, Tan Ky district, Vung Cau, Vung Trang, Dong Trai, Thung Mon, Khe Tre lakes (Nghi Loc district)... Water levels on Lam river are low, from -0.2 - 0.15m/design 1.1.5m, so pumping stations taking water through Nam Dan sluice of Hung Nguyen, Nghi Loc, Vinh city are facing many difficulties.

Faced with that situation, the Government, the Provincial People's Committee and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development have issued documents urging and directing drought prevention work; organized information and propaganda on the water shortage situation and recommended economical water use on mass media; Localities and units have organized dredging of canals and repairing irrigation works.

According to the forecast of the Regional Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, the severe heat will continue in the coming time, so drought and water shortage will occur early (right from the beginning of the season) and may last throughout June and July and over a large area.
