Why is Thu Duc flooded?

Thu Duc City has complex terrain with more than 59% of the area being low-lying, and is influenced by tides from the Saigon and Dong Nai rivers.

Most of the drainage systems are degraded, small in size (DN400 - DN800), and are a common sewer system for both rainwater and wastewater, so they are often overloaded.

Not only that, rapid urbanization, many areas without sewer systems or not connected to the common network, the situation of garbage blocking water intakes, and slow progress of renovation projects due to land acquisition problems are also the reasons why Thu Duc City still "floods when it rains" after many years.
