On October 3, Tuyen Quang Hydropower Company closed one bottom spillway gate of Tuyen Quang Hydropower Reservoir at 11:00 a.m. On October 1-2, due to the decrease in water flow to the reservoir, Tuyen Quang Hydropower Company followed the order of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and closed four bottom spillway gates of the reservoir.

Thus, from October 1 to the night of October 5, Tuyen Quang Hydropower Company closed 6 spillway gates. Before that, at 4:30 p.m. on September 30, Tuyen Quang Hydropower opened 8 deep spillway gates to ensure the safety of the project.

At 5:00 p.m. on October 6, the upstream water level of Tuyen Quang Lake was at 114.38 m, the downstream water level was 55.61 m, the flow to the lake was 1,281 m3/s, and the total flow to the downstream was 2,418 m3/s.

Tuyen Quang Hydropower Company closely monitors the development of floods, construction safety, flow to the reservoir, upstream and downstream water levels of the reservoir, and promptly reports to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (through the Department of Dyke Management and Disaster Prevention and Control) and relevant agencies as prescribed.

On the same day, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment issued Document No. 7553/BNNMT-DD to the People's Committees of the provinces and cities of Tuyen Quang, Phu Tho, and Hanoi on ensuring downstream safety when operating the Tuyen Quang hydropower reservoir.

To ensure safety for constructions and riverside activities, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requests the People's Committees of the above provinces and cities to immediately notify authorities at all levels, people, and organizations operating on rivers and along rivers to proactively take measures to ensure safety and adjust activities accordingly.
