Many houses have been flooded, traffic and economic activities have been disrupted. The reason for flooding is the coincidence of high water levels in the Mekong River with very high lunar tides in the South China Sea. In the flat Mekong Delta the ocean tides influence the height of the river for more than 200km upstream. Can Tho is 80km from the river mouth and strongly affected by tides.<br/> <br/> Reference products: 0<br/> Delineation products: 4<br/> Grading products: 0<br/> <br/> Copernicus Emergency Management Service - Mapping is a service funded by European Commission aimed at providing actors in the management of natural and man-made disasters, in particular Civil Protection Authorities and Humanitarian Aid actors, with mapping products based on satellite imagery.<br/>激活时间（协调世界时，UTC）：2019-09-30 15:54:00 事件时间（协调世界时，UTC）：2019-09-30 18:30:00 事件类型：洪水（河源性洪水） 激活缘由： 越南湄公河三角洲的芹苴市目前正遭遇洪涝灾害，据当地居民称，此次洪水水位较往年更高。大量房屋被淹，交通与经济活动均受干扰。此次洪涝的成因是湄公河水位偏高与南海异常天文大潮的共同作用。在地势平缓的湄公河三角洲，海洋潮汐可影响上游200余公里范围内的河流水位，芹苴市距河口仅80公里，受潮汐影响尤为显著。 参考产品：0 范围划定产品：4 等级评估产品：0 哥白尼应急管理服务-制图服务（Copernicus Emergency Management Service - Mapping）是由欧盟委员会资助的一项服务，旨在为自然灾害与人为灾害的应对人员——尤其是民防主管部门与人道主义援助从业者——提供基于卫星影像的制图产品。
