Flooded area downstream of Ke Go Lake seen from above

(Baohatinh.vn) - During the recent flood, the downstream areas of Ke Go Lake in Ha Tinh such as Cam Due, Cam Binh, and Ha Huy Tap were the most heavily flooded areas. Some residential areas were flooded nearly 2 meters deep, and traffic was cut off for many days.

At this time, when the rain has stopped, Ke Go lake has reduced its overflow discharge and the low tide has helped ease the flooding situation in Cam Due commune - a locality located downstream of Ke Go lake. Up to now, the flood level has receded about 70 - 80cm compared to the previous days.

Although the flood receded quite quickly, as of the morning of November 4, many residential areas downstream of Ke Go Lake were still "surrounded" by floodwaters. According to statistics, nearly 1,200 households in the whole province were still flooded, of which more than 500 households were in Cam Due commune.







Residential areas and traffic routes in Cam Due commune are still flooded up to a meter deep, vehicles cannot move. People have to use boats to move on the roads.

In areas being "surrounded" by floodwaters, residential areas and roads on both sides of the Ngan Mo River, the flooding situation is still quite complicated.

There are houses still surrounded by flood water on all sides, difficult to access without using a boat.

According to local people, if the weather does not rain, Ke Go lake will maintain the overflow level of 250 m3/ ^second and the tide level will be low, and in about 2-3 days, the flood water will basically recede. However, if there is continued heavy rain, the flooding situation may recur.

“We hope it won’t rain anymore so we can clean up our houses. The past few days of “flooding” have been very hard, and eating, living, and resting have been very inconvenient. Luckily, during this time, we have received a lot of support from the authorities, armed forces, and volunteers,” said Mr. Bui Quang Hai (Trung Thanh village, Cam Due commune).

Meanwhile, Cam Binh commune, also a locality downstream of Ke Go lake, is still quite deep in floodwaters. The roads are still deeply flooded, so people have to use boats to get around.

According to local authorities, by the morning of November 4, floodwaters had receded by about 80 cm. However, in many areas, especially along the Ngan Mo River, the flooding level is still quite complicated.

As of the morning of November 4, nearly 600 households in Cam Binh commune were still flooded, with floodwaters still 1 meter high in some residential areas.

On November 2-3, more than 2,300 households in Cam Binh commune were flooded. After 2 days of no rain, Ke Go lake reduced its discharge, and the number of flooded houses has decreased significantly. However, many residential areas in the downstream area of ​​Ke Go lake are still flooded.

According to the locals, it will take a few days for the floodwaters to recede completely before they can start cleaning up their houses. However, they are also worried as it is forecasted that Ha Tinh will likely be affected by storm No. 13.
