Ha Tinh: Many reservoirs will be simultaneously discharged to proactively respond to heavy rains

On August 23, information from Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited said that the unit will simultaneously operate the spillway of 7 large reservoirs in the province to proactively respond to heavy rain.

Boc Nguyen Reservoir

The reservoirs expected to overflow include: Boc Nguyen, Thuong Song Tri, Da Han, Khe Xai, Song Rac, Kim Son, Tau Voi. The overflow is expected to start at 9:00 a.m. on August 24, with a discharge flow of 5 - ^120m3 /second. The end time will depend on weather conditions and reservoir water levels.

The proactive release of water from 7 reservoirs is to proactively respond to the forecast of heavy rain caused by storm No. 5 from August 24 to 27 with forecasted rainfall from 150 - 300mm, in some places over 600mm.
