Vietnam: Flood-tide water levels to rise higher in southern provinces
February 17, 2011
http://www.saigon-gpdaily.com.vn/National/Society/2011/2/89715/
The Southern Hydro-Meteorological Station predicted the flood-tide water levels would continue to rise higher in the coming days in the southern provinces. By February 18, the flood-tide water levels at the Phu An pumping station (Sai Gon River) are expected to be 1.34 metres. The flood-tide waters are rising dangerously high due to a current of cold air which is moving from the north to the south because of strong north-easterly winds which push the sea water inland. The outskirts and surrounding areas of Ho Chi Minh City will probably suffer flooding which will affect the livelihood of locals. The center has also asked local authorities to be vigilant of high-rising flood-tide waters which may overflow the banks of dykes.
