Risks from landslides in Khe Moi stream.

(Baonghean) - The irrigation canal in Mon Son commune (Con Cuong district), built more than 5 years ago, draws water from the Moi stream to supply dozens of hectares of rice and other crops in Thai Son 2 and Tan Son villages, Mon Son commune. However, more than a month ago, due to erosion of the Moi stream bank, a section of the irrigation canal serving agricultural production collapsed. This is one of the reasons why a portion of the rice and other crops in Thai Son 2 and Tan Son villages are experiencing water shortages.

Given the situation, the villagers reported it to the village committee and the People's Committee of the commune. However, due to the relatively remote location of the landslide and the lack of available motorbikes, the landslide continued to widen. If not addressed promptly, the daily flow of water from upstream will continue to cause landslides, break irrigation ditches, and lead to the loss of agricultural land... A reporter from Nghe An Newspaper was present and recorded the following images:

The irrigation canal in Khe Moi stream broke, resulting in a deep and wide landslide.

Without water, many rice fields have dried up and cracked.
