Hanoi: Bui River water overflows the dike, many communes in Chuong My district are flooded

NDO - On the morning of September 11, the water level of the Bui River rose and overflowed the dike, causing many communes in Chuong My district to again fall into serious flooding.

Prolonged heavy rain caused the Bui River to overflow the dike, flooding many houses in Tan Tien and Nam Phuong Tien communes (Chuong My district).

From above, the boundaries between the villages and the Bui River are no longer distinguishable.

People use boats to travel on inter-village roads.

Flood water covered the two communes of Tan Tien and Nam Phuong Tien...

A resident took the opportunity to move valuables out of his house. By the morning of September 11, the water was already reaching his family’s house.

People used sandbags to block the front door of their house to prevent water from flooding into their house.

The water was waist-high.

People took advantage of the opportunity to transport bricks into their houses to raise furniture.

By late morning, the river water rose high and overflowed the dike, making the homemade "dams" no longer very effective.

The water almost overcame the wall...

In Nam Phuong Tien, warning signs of dangerous deep flooding areas have been posted.

The cause of flooding in the communes along the Bui River in Chuong My district in recent years is mainly due to forest floods from Hoa Binh flowing into Hanoi.
