BEN TRE PROVINCE, VIETNAM - MAY 05: A woman looking over her spoiled watermelon field on May 05, 2016 in Ben Tre Province, Vietnam. Vietnam's Mekong Delta had been hit by its worst drought in 90 years caused by the El Nino weather patterns and hydroelectric dams. Based on reports, nearly 140,000 hectares of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam are bone dry and contaminated by salt water, as brine from the sea pushes up the delta's channels. People in affected regions are growing desperate to find water for basic needs and huge amount of the crops for the coming harvest in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, which produces about half of the country's rice, have been spoiled.
