Bach Long Vy island district, about 100kmoffshore, is populated by some 1,000 people and more than 2,000 people at peakduring storms. The population needs about 210 cubic metres of water per day.

The now four water wells can supply acombination of 90 cubic metres per day, leaving island residents still 120cubic metres short of what they need.

In dry season in 2017, island people had tobuy water for 50,000 – 100,000 VND per cubic metre. Offshore fishermen even hadto buy drinking water at prices double or triple those on the island.
