TPO - Dau Tieng Lake has been releasing water through the spillway for more than a week, and authorities have warned that if accompanied by rain, there is a risk of flooding in areas along the Saigon River. The Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control - Search and Rescue of Binh Duong province has requested relevant units and localities to proactively monitor and promptly respond.
On September 24, the Standing Office of the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control - Search and Rescue of Binh Duong province announced the first water discharge through the spillway of Dau Tieng reservoir in 2024. Accordingly, the spillway discharge period starts from September 24 to October 1. The discharge flow through the spillway is 100 m3/s with a total discharge volume of 60.48 million m3. According to the authorities, the discharge flow of 100 m3/s is aimed at proactively preventing floods for works and downstream areas, and under normal conditions does not cause flooding in communes and wards along the Saigon River. However, the announcement stated that it is necessary to be cautious when heavy rain combined with the above spillway discharge can cause local flooding in low-lying areas along the Saigon River. The Standing Office of the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention - Search and Rescue of Binh Duong province informs the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention - Search and Rescue of Dau Tieng district, Ben Cat city, Thuan An city, Thu Dau Mot city and the Center for Investment, Exploitation of Irrigation and Rural Clean Water to proactively respond. Previously, many times, houses of people in the areas along the Saigon River in Thuan An city, Dau Tieng district (Binh Duong) were flooded due to heavy rains and the discharge of floodwater from Dau Tieng lake.
With a surface area of about 270 km2, Dau Tieng Lake is the largest irrigation lake in Vietnam, located in the three provinces of Tay Ninh, Binh Duong and Binh Phuoc . In addition to regulating water to the Saigon River, the lake also serves irrigation for agricultural production in the provinces of the Southeast region.
