2025 Dry Season Salinity Intrusion Expected to Be High but Not Severe
The Mekong Delta's dry season is yet to begin, but forecasts suggest increased salinity intrusion. Rainfall in the Southern region may increase significantly in December 2024, then gradually decrease. The Mekong River flow to the Delta is predicted to be 5-15% lower than average in the next six months. While salinity intrusion is expected to be higher than average, it won't be as severe as in 2016 and 2020. Areas at risk include parts of Tien Giang and Ben Tre provinces. Experts attribute this to factors like ENSO conditions, off-season rainfall, and water source developments. Upstream hydropower reservoirs have accumulated significant water, but tidal currents are forecast to be higher than average. The Southern Institute for Water Resources Planning emphasizes the importance of proactive measures like integrated water resources management and early sowing to mitigate the impact of salinity intrusion.
