The high water levels, combined with heavy rainfall, have caused widespread flooding in the low-lying areas along the rivers, affecting the communes of Gia Tien, Gia Hung, and Gia Thinh; two schools in Kenh Ga village, Gia Thinh commune (outside the dykes) in Gia Vien district; and the low-lying areas in the residential areas of communes in Nho Quan district, Ninh Binh city, and Hoa Lu.
