Immediately after the rain and storm ended, Kien Xuong Irrigation Works Exploitation Enterprise proactively operated irrigation works, lowering the water level in the system to prevent flooding for rice and crops. Agricultural production and service cooperatives mobilized human resources and deployed field pumps to pump and drain water. Storm prevention and control work was carried out by the Commune People's Committee drastically and seriously before the storm hit, contributing to reducing damage. By 10:00 a.m. on July 23, the flooded rice area of the commune was about 60%. Currently, the commune continues to focus on means, equipment, and human resources to drain the water as quickly as possible, limiting the impact on the growth and development of rice plants.
