Depth of flood:

1.6 m - 2.0 m

This is a map by ADB forecasting how Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong delta will be flooded in 2050.
According to Ashui.com , most of overfllood-prevent projects are not on the right schedule so that there would be no more flood in 2011.
On the other hand, these projects are out-of-date. For example, according to Dr.Hoa Minh Nguyen, in Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe project, the currently designed sewage can only bear the maximum loading capacity of 90 mm. In fact, during 2010 there were rains with a maximum loading of 124 mm.
