On October 9, 2023, NLT Group deployed the installation of a flood warning monitoring system for Can Tho City with the goal of contributing to improving the quality of state management of the environment in the province. not only warns of floods but also helps many specialized agencies and local authorities monitor and assess the situation to serve flood prevention and response work...
Can Tho is one of the provinces in the Mekong Delta heavily affected by high tides as well as the impact of climate change in recent times. In recent years, roads in the center of Can Tho city have often been severely flooded due to high tides. The highest water level ever recorded was 2.27m, appearing on the evening of October 12, 2022, exceeding alert III by 0.27m.
According to statistics, the central area of Can Tho City has 61 main roads flooded from 0.4 to 0.5m deep. Districts: Binh Thuy, Cai Rang, O Mon also have many roads deeply submerged in water. Roads that are constantly flooded when it rains or high tides include: Nguyen Van Cu from the foot of Con Khuong bridge to the intersection of Cach Mang Thang Tam, Mau Than, Tran Hung Dao, Ly Tu Trong, Huynh Cuong...
According to the City Department of Transportation. Can Tho said that currently the city has almost no street flood monitoring system. Flood monitoring work still has to be done manually. When there is rain, flood, high tide, staff must be on duty at flooded points, taking notes (start and end times of flooding, measuring the deepest water level on the street, etc.). Information about flooding must wait for staff reports to the center, so flood prevention work is implemented slowly, greatly affecting the daily lives of people in flooded areas.
To solve the above challenges, NLT Group has coordinated with departments to install pilot stations monitoring and flood prevention in Binh Thuy district, Ninh Kieu district,... City. Can Tho. The reason the monitoring stations are installed at these locations is because this is the flooded umbilical cord of the road. The device includes a sensor to measure the flood level, a camera to check the actual situation and a warning light.
Thus, instead of measuring manually as before, with this smart system, flood prediction warnings are easier than before. More importantly, this information not only reaches the flood control agency but also reaches the people through the flood warning application.

According to assessments, the flood monitoring and prevention system from NLT Group has many advantages such as: Very high accuracy, very simple installation, long life, limited theft... At the same time, This is also the flood protection plan that is considered the most advanced today. If it works well, this system can be installed at other anti-flooding routes of 1-2 stations.
NLT Group is a unit that researches and develops products that apply advanced and smart IoT (internet of things) systems to perform fully automatic monitoring, supervision and flood warnings. The measuring system has high accuracy and stable operation, and automatically monitors the operating status of monitoring stations and all peripheral devices. With this solution, information about flooding will be provided promptly to management units and traffic participants in the city. Can Tho.
NLT Group believes that the pilot implementation of the flood monitoring and warning system in Can Tho city is a great step forward in applying information technology to solve the flood problem. This system promises to bring many benefits to people and authorities, helping them be proactive in responding to flooding and minimizing damage.
In the coming time, we will continue to work with localities to expand and create models in applying information technology to solve problems related to natural disasters and the environment. This certainly brings long-term benefits and contributes to building a sustainable and safe community against the challenges of climate change.
