The Lam River alluvial area stretches across Hung Nguyen and Nam Dan districts... with an area of up to thousands of hectares, suitable for growing many types of crops, especially favorable for developing high-tech agricultural production. However, this fertile land is now at risk of being gradually wiped out as the landslide situation along the Lam River has become more complicated in recent years. Photo: Quang An

Local authorities said the landslide area is nearly 1km long, about 30 meters deeper than before. Dozens of hectares of alluvial land have been lost in the past 5 years. Photo: Quang An

However, this is a large project and must be submitted to the authorities for approval before it can be implemented. Photo: Quang An

Currently, he only dares to plant in small areas, about 50 meters deep, and short-term crops that can be harvested early to ensure a sure harvest. Photo: Quang An

The measure of planting trees to preserve the soil is implemented by localities such as Long Xa commune, Hung Nguyen district or Trung Phuc Cuong commune, Nam Dan district to preserve the soil, however, in the long term, it is necessary to build embankments to ensure safety. Photo: Quang An
