The southern central province of Binh Thuan is set to spend 15 billion VND (714,000 USD) to support localities to surmount water shortages caused by prolonged drought.

Hanoi's Party Committee has asked authorised agencies to re-examine the demand and supply of water and electricity to minimise shortages, especially during the prolonged hot summer.

Households in inner Hanoi districts will face water shortages as the prolonged hot season approaches, an official has said.
