High tides flooded some low-lying areas in some areas of Ward 10, My Tho City.

Also according to the Tien Giang Province Hydrometeorological Station, in the past 24 hours, the water level in the lower Tien River rose rapidly following the high tide in early March of the lunar calendar. As of 7:00 a.m. on March 31, the highest water level at some stations was: My Thuan 1.63 m, 0.03 m higher than BĐI; My Tho 1.72 m, 0.12 m higher than BĐIII; Hoa Binh 1.6 m, approximately BĐIII; Vam Kenh 1.54 m, 0.04 m higher than BĐII.

It is forecasted that the water level at the stations in the downstream of the Tien River will rise following the high tide in early March of the lunar calendar. The water level will continue to rise for the next day, then change little and decrease following the tide. The highest water level at the stations in the downstream of the Tien River during this tide will appear on March 31 and April 1 (ie March 3 and 4 of the lunar calendar).

Specifically, at My Thuan Station (Tien River) at 1.6 - 1.7 m, approximately level II; My Tho Station (Tien River) at 1.65 - 1.75, 10 cm higher than level III; Hoa Binh Station (Tieu Gate) at 1.55 - 1.65 m, 5 cm higher than level III; Vam Kenh Station (Tieu Gate) at 1.5 - 1.6 m, approximately level III.

This is the highest tide of the year that will cause flooding in low-lying areas and along rivers. High tides cause localized flooding in low-lying areas along rivers, canals, ditches, and traffic routes outside the dyke, causing saltwater intrusion to penetrate deeper into the fields.
