In March and April, many reservoirs in Ninh Thuan, such as Phuoc Nhon (in Phuoc Trung commune, Bac Ai district) dried out, making it hard for cattle to find food. From early morning, Dao Quang Lo chases a herd of over 1,000 sheep of Tran Cao Hoa far away in hope of finding more food for them. Ensuring sufficient food and water for sheep in the dry season is a challenge for locals.
