The alluvial red-brown color mixed with the golden sunset is a feature of the floating season in the An Giang watershed.

The series of photos, made by photographer Huynh Phuc Hau, introduces readers to the immense water fields in the Chau Doc and Tinh Bien areas of An Giang province.

An Giang is a province bordering Cambodia through districts such as Tinh Bien, Tan Chau, An Phu and Chau Doc City. This place is also the headland of the Hau river flowing into the Mekong Delta. In the photo is the dam to prevent the Tra Su flood in Tinh Bien

An Giang and Dong Thap are the earliest places to receive flood water in the West. While An Giang is the flood of the Hau River, Dong Thap is the flood of the Tien River. The fields of rising water submerged in red alluvial color are the beauty of An Giang watershed

The beauty of the flood today is not only a form, the flood also brings fish and shrimp to this land, accreting alluvium for the field to be more fertile and lush. In the picture is a scene of fishing in the flood season Vinh Te, Chau DocQUEEN OF HAPPINESS

In the past, when the embankment (dyke) was not built to prevent floods, the water level was much higher. Flood season is therefore also a livelihood season with many local products. Since there is an embankment to prevent floods, the water overflows the field less, so the shrimp and fish also decrease. But in return, people’s lives are also less miserableQUEEN OF HAPPINESS
