<p>Ngo Van Binh has lived in Ho Chi Minh City for more than 10 years, but last week was t<b>he first time he was able to catch a catfish in his yard</b>.</p>
<p>On November 7 he and many of his neighbors did not go to work because of severe inundation caused by a heavy downpour early morning that lasted hours as a tropical depression hit the city.</p>
<p>“<b>It was one of the worst inundations I have ever seen in District 12</b>,” he said.</p>
<p>… </p>
<p><span><b>Sinking city</b></span></p>
<p>According to a recent study by the National University Ho Chi Minh City’s Geoinformatics Center, <b>parts of the southeastern region and the Mekong Delta are sinking, with HCMC suffering the most.</b></p>
<p>Using the differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar or INSAR method, researchers found <b>many places in HCMC sinking by up to 20 millimeters (0.8 inch) a year.</b></p>
<p>The center said the city has been <b>sinking since 1996, with the speed increasing gradually since 2004.</b></p>
<p>… </p>
<p>Ho Phi Long, director of the Water Management and Climate Change Center, said <b>many places in HCMC are sinking by 3 centimeters a year, three times faster than the sea-level rise.</b></p>
<p>… </p>
<p>He called for setting binding terms for investors in the lowlands because <b>it is almost impossible to repair the drainage system in areas that have sunk</b>.</p>
