According to the Dong Thap Provincial Meteorological and Hydrological Station, due to the combined effects of the high tide on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and upstream flooding<\/a><\/strong>, water levels in the southern districts of Dong Thap province have risen rapidly.<\/p>\n

The floodwaters upstream are rising rapidly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The highest tide levels are forecast for September 20-21, 2024, occurring between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM and between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM daily. The high tide situation, at alarm level III, combined with heavy local rainfall in the coming days in the southern districts, will endanger dike-protected areas with fruit trees, causing flooding in areas without dikes, areas with low dikes, and urban areas. <\/p>\n

Regarding the prediction of the peak flood in 2024, a tropical depression is currently active in the central South China Sea and has the potential to strengthen into typhoon number 4 and make landfall in the central region. This typhoon is likely to cause a period of heavy rain and flooding in the middle reaches of the Mekong River.<\/p>\n

Floods are likely to be higher than in 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The peak flood level in 2024 is predicted to be about 0.1 to 0.4m higher than in 2023 (upstream areas will be about 0.4m higher; in the Thap Muoi inland area about 0.3m higher; and in the southern area about 0.1m higher).<\/p>\n

In response to this situation, the Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Dong Thap province directed the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to urgently update disaster warning information (rain, floods, landslides, etc.) on the agricultural digital transformation platform, serving both management purposes and providing access to disaster information for organizations and individuals. At the same time, they urged increased efforts to encourage people to release floodwaters from agricultural production embankments, contributing to the replenishment of silt in the soil. <\/p>\n

The Meteorological and Hydrological Agency has predicted that heavy rainfall in the upper Mekong River will cause flooding in the downstream Mekong Delta system. At the same time, high tides in the southern sea area will occur from September 19th to 22nd. Simultaneously, a tropical depression strengthening into Typhoon No. 4 is expected to make landfall in Central Vietnam, bringing rain throughout the South in the coming days. Therefore, there is a risk of flooding in many provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta region. <\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
