In recent years, the landslide situation on Lam River bank, Yen Xuan bridge section (in Long Xa commune, Hung Nguyen district, Nghe An province) has been serious.

Local authorities said the landslide area is nearly 1km long and about 30 meters deeper than before.

Ms. Tran Thi Thu (residing in Tan Long hamlet, Long Xa commune) shared: “In recent years, the Lam River bank has eroded faster and more severely. Seeing the river bank washing away meter by meter of land, everyone feels sorry and worried that the productive land will flow into the river. We really hope that the authorities will soon build an embankment to prevent erosion.”

Weak sandy loam layers will be washed away into the riverbed by just a few large waves or low tides.

According to local people, the continuous erosion of the riverbank is not only caused by heavy rains and floods, but also by the impact of sand mining ships on the Lam River.

Mr. Ho Van Chien - Vice Chairman of Long Xa Commune People's Committee said that due to the impact of floods, the landslide situation on Lam River bank is becoming more and more complicated. Dozens of hectares of people's production land have been washed away.

“The locality has implemented a plan to plant wave-breaking trees and thousands of acacia trees in landslide areas, but these measures have not brought about the desired results. After that, the authorities and the locality have built stone embankments along the Lam River to prevent landslides. Up to now, the embanked sections have shown clear results. However, the areas that have not been embanked continue to erode every year, greatly affecting people's agricultural production,” said Mr. Chien.
