Not only rivers and streams, but also places with murky, polluted water where the Nam Mo hydropower plant (Ky Son) has blocked the flow are also places where highland children splash around, play, and catch fish without anticipating the dangers that may occur. Photo: Dao Tho |

In fact, there have been many tragic drowning cases on rivers and streams in the highlands. For example, in 2016, a drowning incident occurred in Ta Ca commune (Ky Son), killing a 6-year-old child. It is thought that authorities at all levels need to take measures to warn and propagate to prevent possible drowning cases. Photo: Dao Tho |
