Hundreds of Thousands of Fish Perish in Vietnamese Reservoir Amidst Devastating Heatwave

Southern and central Vietnam have been experiencing scorching heat, leading to a massive fish die-off in a reservoir in Dong Nai province. The extreme temperatures and water management issues are believed to be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of fish, causing distress among locals and prompting an investigation by authorities. The reservoir, a vital water source for crops, has seen declining water levels as a result of efforts to divert water for irrigation and renovations to remove sediment. Despite attempts to increase water levels and provide more space for the fish, the efforts proved futile as many succumbed to the extreme conditions.
