Riverbank erosion in Vietnam has caused significant damage to agricultural land, infrastructure, and residential safety across different provinces.

In Quang Ngai Province, erosion along a 2.5km stretch of the Dak Snghe River has impacted over 1,000 hectares of crops, including coffee and cassava. Heavy currents during the rainy season have hollowed out banks near village access roads and home foundations, placing 848 people in high-risk areas. Residents have requested government intervention through embankments or relocation plans.

In An Giang Province, erosion along the Hau River led to a 50-meter landslide in My Hoa Hung commune. This forced the emergency relocation of households, with military and police assisting residents in dismantling homes. While no casualties were reported, the incident caused approximately 250 million VND in property damage and affected local transportation. Authorities have responded by removing vegetation to reduce weight on the banks and installing warning signs.
