A severe drought is expected to hit Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam from now until January, threatening agricultural production in these countries.
According to experts, the drought is expected to occur in the four lower Mekong River Basin countries as the river reaches its lowest levels in about 60 years.
The Mekong River Commission (MRC) said in a statement that most parts of the lower Mekong basin were now experiencing an exceptionally regionally low flow since June.
