The highest daily peak tide during this period is likely to appear on October 8 to 9 (August 17 to 18).

Investors of traffic, urban infrastructure, irrigation projects, etc. proactively organize inspections to promptly detect and immediately handle weak locations of dikes, pond banks, embankments, culverts, and diversion channels within the scope of the unit's project packages.
