According to the hydrometeorological agency, from September 28 to 29, Ha Tinh province is likely to have widespread heavy rain, with total rainfall ranging from 200-400mm, and in some places over 500mm.

According to Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited, at 7:00 a.m. on September 26, the water level of Ke Go Lake was +27.43/32.5m (capacity 213.3/345 million m3 ⁾ , reaching 61.83% of the design.

In anticipation of the complicated developments of the storm and rain situation, based on the operating and water regulation process of Ke Go reservoir approved by the People's Committee of Ha Tinh province, to ensure the safety of Ke Go reservoir, Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited has issued a notice that from 8:00 a.m. on September 27, the water flow through Doc Mieu spillway will be increased to a flow rate of 20 - ^120m3 /second.

Ke Go Lake spills water to lower water levels ahead of forecast heavy rains caused by storm Bualoi.

Along with Ke Go Lake, to proactively respond to the forecast of heavy rain caused by storm Bualoi, Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited will simultaneously operate spillway discharge at 4 large reservoirs in Ha Tinh province, including Song Rac, Kim Son, Tau Voi, and Khe Xai lakes.

The spillway discharge will start at 8am on September 27, with a flow rate of ^3-80m3 /second. The end time will depend on weather conditions and lake water levels.

Along with the proactive spillover of large reservoirs, the water level at many small reservoirs such as Thuong Tuy, Khe Giao, Da Den, Mac Khe, Van Vo, Moc Huong, Da Cat, Khe Lau, Khe Nay, Dam Mung... has freely overflowed, and is currently approximately equal to the spillway threshold elevation.

In case of rain, the water level of these lakes will increase and flow freely through the spillway with an expected flow rate of 1 - 90m ³ /second.

Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited requests localities and units in the downstream area to urgently notify, urge and guide people to implement measures to ensure safety of life and property.
