Right now (December 2015) at the end of the wet season there is already critically low water left in the reservoirs that powers the dams. All forecasts are predicting that 2016 will be an even worse year for drought than 2015
and that Vietnam should expect severe power shortages directly as a result of over-reliance on hydro power.

Why is this rather pressing issue not even mentioned in this article??
