Historical database of urban flooding in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2002–2026)
Listed in DataSuds
This dataset compiles 425 geolocated observations of urban flooding in Ho Chi Minh City, recorded between 2002 and 2026 from 53 sources (mainly Vietnamese newspapers, along with a few technical reports).
Description
Each observation documents the date, location (name, type, ward/commune, and the current administrative unit following the 2025 administrative reform), water height (minimum/maximum in cm and depth class), cause (rain, high tide, or combined), impact type, source, spatial precision, and geocoding method.
The dataset also includes complementary layers: administrative boundaries before/after the 2025 reform population density by district (2019) flood recurrence by street rivers, canals and water bodies verified industrial zones This work was carried out as part of a Master's (M2) internship (IGE, April–August 2026) within LMI CARE, under the supervision of Sébastien Hardy (IRD). The Master's thesis was defended on 10 September 2026.
