mountainous and midland region recorded gales and downpours with rainfall of 40
- 90mm, even over 120mm in several places, according to the National Centre for
Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
As the Son La hydropower plant already opened a
spillway to discharge floodwater, the flow to Hoa Binh Reservoir has
approximated 5,300 cub.m. per second. The Hoa Binh hydropower plant is working
at its maximum capacity with eight turbines operating continually.
With two spillway gates opened, the water flow
from Hoa Binh Reservoir to downstream areas stood at around 5,600 cu.m. per
second.
The reservoir’s water level stood at 109.7m by
7am on June 12. Under the Prime Minister’s regulation on procedures for
inter-reservoir operation in the Red River basin, to ensure safety for the
plant and downstream areas, its water level will have to be reduced to 105m by
June 15.
Phan Van Vuong, Director of the Hoa Binh
hydropower company, said before spillway gates were opened, the firm had
notified the administration of localities, aquaculture establishments, and
waterway vehicles in downstream areas of the water discharge so that they could
gear up response measures.
As the discharge with such a large water volume
is very dangerous, he called on people not to swim in the river or fish in
downstream areas of the Hoa Binh hydropower dam./.
