Hydropower plants on the Chay River basin announce flood discharge

Due to the impact of heavy rains in recent days, water from upstream has continuously poured in, causing the water level of hydroelectric reservoirs to rise. To ensure the safe operation of the plant and the safety of the downstream area, hydroelectric plants in the Chay River basin have announced the release of floodwater from their reservoirs.

This is a normal flood discharge regulation activity according to the factory's operating procedure during the rainy season according to the plan approved by the competent authority.

Vinh Ha Hydropower Plant opens spillway to ensure dam safety.

Accordingly, in the early afternoon of July 1, Bac Ha Hydropower Joint Stock Company announced that the discharge flow through the spillway was 596.04 ^m3 /s; the discharge flow through the generator was 185.92 ^m3 /s; the total discharge flow downstream was 781.96 ^m3 /s.

Along with Bac Ha Hydropower Plant, on the afternoon of July 1, hydropower plants on the Chay River basin such as Bao Nhai Hydropower Plant Level 1, Bao Nhai Hydropower Plant Level 2, Nam Luc Hydropower Plant, Vinh Ha Hydropower Plant, and Phuc Long Hydropower Plant also announced an increase in flood discharge to the downstream compared to previous days.

Specifically, Bao Nhai Hydropower Plant Level 1 announced at 13:03, the total flood discharge to the downstream was 539 ^m3 /s. The plant is operating normally, ensuring safety.

Bao Nhai Hydropower Plant Level 2 announced at 13:07, the total flow downstream was 635.66 ^m3 /s.

Nam Luc Hydropower Plant announced at 13:00 that the total discharge to the downstream was 718 ^m3 /s.

Vinh Ha Hydropower Plant announced at 13:03, the total discharge to downstream is 766 ^m3 /s.

Phuc Long Hydropower Plant announced at 13:00, the total discharge to downstream was 670.9 ^m3 /s.

Faced with the situation of hydropower plants simultaneously releasing floodwaters, causing the water level on the Chay River to rise, localities downstream of the hydropower plants are urgently deploying, checking, and reviewing, while continuing to propagate and instruct people on how to prevent, avoid, and ensure the safety of life and property.
