The Floods in Binh Dinh
Binh Dinh Province, located in the central coast of Vietnam, frequently bears the brunt of severe annual flooding, particularly during the rainy season from October to December. Triggered by heavy tropical storms and typhoons, relentless downpours cause local rivers like the Kon and Lai Giang to overflow their banks rapidly. Within hours, vast areas of agricultural land, bustling town centers, and quiet rural villages are submerged under deep floodwaters.
