Strong high tides flooded many rice fields outside the Thai Binh River dike.

Rivers in the downstream area of ​​Hai Duong province, including Thai Binh river, have just experienced the strongest high tide since the beginning of the year.

A strong high tide appeared on the evening of June 24, causing flooding in many areas of land outside the Thai Binh River dike, passing through An Thanh commune (Tu Ky).

According to reporters, at around 5:30 p.m. on June 24, a strong high tide appeared in the downstream area of ​​the Thai Binh River.

In An Thanh and Quang Trung communes (Tu Ky), the high tide caused the water of the Thai Binh River to rise to the foot of the dike, causing many areas of organic winter-spring rice outside the dike to be flooded from the height of the tree to the neck of the flower.

Mr. Pham Xuan Luan, Director of An Thanh Agricultural Service Cooperative, said that this was the biggest flood since the beginning of the year in the downstream area of ​​Thai Binh River. The whole commune has about 137 hectares of organic rice outside the Thai Binh River dike. Before the flood, farmers in the commune had harvested about 120 hectares, only 17 hectares remained.

By about 9 p.m. the same day, the water had receded. The flooding lasted for a short time, so it basically did not affect the remaining ripe rice area. On June 25, the commune mobilized farmers to harvest the remaining area, to prevent further large tidal surges that could affect the quality of the rice after harvest.

Water levels in rivers downstream of Hai Duong province rose due to the appearance of strong high tides.

The leader of the Hai Duong Hydrometeorological Station said that due to the influence of strong high tides, water levels on rivers in the downstream areas of the province rose.

At 7:00 a.m. on June 24, at Ba Nha Hydrological Station on the Gua River (Thanh Ha), the water level was measured at 2.11 m, exceeding alarm level I by 0.11 m; at An Phu Hydrological Station on the Kinh Mon River, it was 2.21 m, approximately level I; at Quang Dat Hydrological Station on the Rang River (Kim Thanh), it was 2.14 m, exceeding alarm level I by 0.04 m.

Experts recommend that farmers with rice fields outside the dikes of rivers in the downstream area need to monitor high tides, proactively harvest the remaining winter-spring rice fields, and protect crops and assets that may be affected by rising water.
