Due to the impact of heavy rain that lasted from the evening of May 24, combined with the strong flow of water from upstream, the water level in the Ha dam rose, causing a section of the Ha dam dike (earthen dike) to suddenly break at around 1:00 a.m. on May 25, the length at the break point was about 6-7m, the width was about more than 4m.
