The recent floods have disrupted people’s lives. Amid the muddy floodwaters, people are turning to natural springs – the clean “springs of life” amid the floods.

People line up to get water at natural springs.

Due to the impact of storm No. 11, on the afternoon of October 7, Tan An water plant, Tan Giang ward of Cao Bang Water Supply Company Limited was flooded and forced to stop operating. By the afternoon of October 8, the water plant was operating again, but the need for people to clean up after the flood was very high. For households in areas far from the center, higher than the center, there will not be water yet, so people have been proactive in finding clean water sources from nature for daily life.

Ms. Hoang Thi Kim Thuy, at Duyet Trung group 1, Tan Giang ward, brought clothes to the water source at group 4, Tan Giang ward to wash. Ms. Thuy shared: Because I often travel this route, I saw this water source flowing out. During this time, with water shortages and floods like this, I took the opportunity to bring clothes here to wash and get water to serve my family. If there were no water source like this, people would not have water to use in daily life.

In Tan Giang ward, the natural water wells around the Provincial Military Command are crowded with people from all over coming to get water for their family activities. Mr. Pham Van Bao, group 7, Tan Giang ward, although his family was not flooded in this flood.

Groups of people carrying plastic cans to the mines to transport water, supporting and helping each other carry cans of clean water home, making everyone who witnessed it moved. It was not only a way to make a living in the midst of storms and floods, but also a symbol of determination, solidarity and sharing in the flood area.
