Tien Giang also mobilised all resources to provide sufficient fresh water for residents.
In addition, the Tien Giang Water Supply Company was asked to dredge ponds to increase the capacity of fresh water and reopen free water supply points while raising public awareness of keeping and saving water for dry season.
