(Baonghean.vn) - On hot summer days, irrigation canals are a place for many rural children to bathe and play.

| Every afternoon, on the canal flowing through the communes of Lien Thanh, Cong Thanh... (Yen Thanh), many children come to bathe. The canal is about 8-10 m wide, more than 2 m deep, while the children do not have life buoys, life jackets... Photo: Huy Thu |

| Occasionally, each group has a few life jackets, but the children turn them into toys. Photo: Huy Thu |

 |
| Concrete ditches in Hung My commune (Hung Nguyen) are also the number one choice for children in the village. Although the ditches are small and narrow, the strong water flow also poses a risk of drowning if children are negligent or subjective. Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| Children still swim and play innocently in dirty water, in front of the suction pipes of pumping stations. In the photo: In front of the suction pipe of a pumping station in Hung My commune. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Not only bathing and tumbling, but also children gathering to fish on the bridge without insurance, just carelessness and jostling can cause them to fall into the canal. Children bathing and playing on the irrigation canal has many potential risks, and needs to be propagated and reminded by families and localities.
