The prolonged heat has reduced the amount of water flowing from the source, and the water level of the Lam River in some places has dropped very low. The section flowing through Thanh Chuong district has an alarmingly low water level, with many sandbanks appearing in the middle of the river. Mr. Thai Dang Phuong - Deputy Director of Thanh Chuong Irrigation Company Limited shared: I have been working in the locality for more than 15 years, and have never seen the Lam River dry to the point of "dead" water like this; to the point that many irrigation pumping stations in Thanh Chuong district, despite having reinforced, connected pipes, and dredged the river, still cannot pump water.

Some sand ports had to use excavators to dredge and clear the riverbed so that sand-carrying boats could dock. In the photo: A sand port in Ngoc Son commune. Photo: Huy Thu

The dry Lam River has greatly affected the lives of the people, directly affecting the fishermen living on boats. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Nhung - a fishing household living on a boat moored on the river bank in Ngoc Son commune (Thanh Chuong) said: In previous years, the river dried up, but his family's boat still floated on the water. This year, the boat has been stranded for many days in the middle of the river, and water for daily use has to be transported far away. Photo: Huy Thu

The Lam River is running dry, forcing many pumping stations serving agriculture on both sides of the river to be renovated to be able to operate. Some pumping stations are operating at a slow pace, or even unable to draw water. A worker repairing the machine at the Dong Van Commune Pumping Station said: Since the day of pumping water for people in the commune to plant rice until now, the pumping station has not been able to pump water because the river water level is too low.
