The heavy rain lasting about 40 minutes helped save nearly 1,500 hectares of drought-stricken rice in mountainous communes in the two ends of the district such as Giang Son Dong, Giang Son Tay, Bai Son, Hong Son, Dai Son, My Son, Bai Son, Lam Son when they were at risk of drying out due to prolonged drought.

The rain also replenished the water source in dams and reservoirs from the dead water level such as Da Ban, Nam Khe, and Cay Thi dams. This rain is especially valuable for communes whose rice fields depend entirely on dams and reservoirs.
The rain also helped cool down the hot atmosphere after days of extreme heat.

If it continues to rain in the next few days, it will help crops such as rice and many fruit tree areas in Do Luong grow again.
