The Central Highland provinces have entered the dry season but irrigation projects, rivers, streams and wells are holding sufficient water for irrigating coffee trees, the committee said.
Thanks to rains even prolonged downpours, appearing in the region in late last year and early this year, local coffee farmers have just watered coffee trees two times, instead of three or four times like in the previous years, helping them save more water.
The use of water-efficient irrigation system also helps the farmers reduce the amount of water needed to irrigate coffee areas.
Though, the region still lacks a lot of irrigation projects. The fact could cause great damage to farmers if there would be similar prolonged droughts in recent years.
