At Cha Hydrological Station, floods continue to increase and are likely to reach level 3 warning on the evening of September 10.
According to the Thai Nguyen Hydrometeorological Station, this is a complicated flood due to the impact of local heavy rains upstream, increasing the level of prolonged riverside flooding, the risk of riverbank and dike landslides, causing flooding in low-lying areas and most areas in the center of Thai Nguyen city.
Flood disaster risk warning level is level 3.
The flood water level in the river rose, causing deep flooding, affecting traffic and the lives of many residential areas living along both banks of the Cau River. Specifically:
Flooding in low-lying areas and areas along the Cau River in Dong Hy and Phu Binh districts, Pho Yen city and Thai Nguyen city.
Flooding on some roads and residential areas in the center of Thai Nguyen City: Quang Vinh, Dong Tam, Trung Vuong, Tuc Duyen, Cao Ngan, Cam Gia wards; the leveled intersection, the Provincial Party Committee intersection, Hung Vuong street and some main streets...
Rising floodwaters cause flooding with a maximum depth of 0.3-0.5m, in some places higher than 0.7m; flooding time is generally from 12-24 hours, in some places longer.
Floods have caused dangerous impacts in some areas of underground spillways, spillways, pontoon bridges, and weak dykes along both banks of the downstream Cau River, threatening people's lives and property and socio-economic activities.
