The erosion is around 1.5 kilometres long and runs through Phu Lam Village in the Nghia Hanh District.
Many vulnerable households have had to reinforce eroded sections to prevent their homes from being washed away.

Vo Thi Chinh, a resident from Phu Lam Village, said that her family spent VND300 million fortifying the eroded section running through her property. However, she expected that local authorities would build a dyke to ensure safety in the long run.
Pham Thi Bich Hoa, chairwoman of Hanh Thien Commune, admitted that the severe erosion along Ve River has become a threatening problem. She said that the district would report the problem to the province for solutions. The district has also planned to relocate at-risk households during the rainy season.
