In the Dong Thap Muoi region, around the seventh lunar month, the water flows in, bringing with it the characteristic flood season of the Mekong Delta. While in the past the locals feared floods, now the water has become a valuable source of livelihood. Amidst the vast expanse of water, people take advantage of the opportunity to harvest water lilies, fish, shrimp, and other natural products, preserving traditional labor practices while increasing their income during the flood season.
