Due to the mountainous terrain and tropical climate, the dry weather in Lac Duong district, Lam Dong Province often happens to be a scarcity of clean water.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Lam Dong province, in the coming time, if the sun continues for a long time and there is no unseasonal rain, it is forecasted that about 300 to 500 hectares of crops lack irrigation water and about 200 households will lack domestic water. In which, Dung KNo commune, Lac Duong district is one of the places that are most severely affected.

Most of the people here are farmers who grow coffee, tea, and crops… with low income, their life is inherently difficult and lacking. Many families do not have enough money to buy daily necessities and school supplies for their children. In addition, the drought situation leads to a lack of water for domestic use and irrigation, making the lives of the people here more difficult and harsher than ever.
