A Trang Bom city resident who merely identified himself as Nghia, claimed that “every fish in the Song May tank died because of lack of water.”
” Over the past ten days, our life has been turned upside down by the smell,” the author claims.
People wading and boating through the 300ha Song May pond, where the water is hardly visible amid a cover of dead sea life.
The reservoir’s water is too small for the creatures to survive, according to media studies, and the area has n’t received any rain in months.
Previous to this, reservoir management had already discharged water to try to keep crops inland, Nghia said.
They then attempted to restore the pond, using a pump to remove the mud so that the fish would have more room and water, he said.
However, the work did not work and, soon after, many of the fish died, with native press reports suggesting as many as two hundred tonnes ‘ worth of fish does have perished.
