DONG NAI, Vietnam - Hundreds of thousands of fish have died in a reservoir in southern Vietnam’s Dong Nai province, with locals and media reports suggesting a brutal heatwave and the lake’s management are to blame.
According to media reports, the area has seen no rain for weeks, and the water in the reservoir is too low for the creatures to survive.“They then tried to renovate the reservoir, bringing in a pump to take the mud out so that the fish would have more space and water,” he said. “But owing to an unrelenting heatwave, the investor released the water into the downstream area, leading to the water level going down. As a result, fish died en masse,” the newspaper reported.
