Hanoi: Rising Red River water levels pose flooding risk
Due to prolonged heavy rains caused by Typhoon Yagi, hydroelectric reservoirs have had to open several floodgates, causing the Red River in Hanoi to rise dangerously close to warning levels.
Since last night through this morning (September 11, 2024), the Red River's water level in Hanoi has continued to rise, surpassing alert level 2 and threatening the safety of vulnerable dike sections in the capital.
