Reportedly, Cam Lam District is in the South of Khanh Hoa Province, with its terrain gradually lowering in altitude from West to East and from North to South. Although the District’s river and spring system is quite abundant in quantity, its rivers and streams are very small, short and steep, water tends to be in shortage during the dry season, the underground water is little, unevenly located and  contaminated with salt in coastal areas, unfit for production and living activities. The District is always dry and has suffered terrible damage in the historic drought from the beginning of 2015 to present.
