The amount of water flowing into the lake is decreasing, are hydropower plants in the North worried?

The Department of Industrial Safety Techniques and Environment has just sent a report to Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien on the operation of hydroelectric reservoirs on July 29.

According to the report, water flow to hydroelectric reservoirs in the Northern and North Central regions fluctuated slightly; in the South Central coastal region, it was low and decreased slightly.

Meanwhile, the Central Highlands and Southeast regions have slightly increased compared to yesterday. Reservoirs in river basins and small streams in the Northern mountainous region and the Central Highlands have high water levels.

Previously, reports on July 27 and 28 noted that water levels in hydroelectric reservoirs in the Northern region had slightly decreased. However, the amount of water flowing into dams was still high.

Thanks to that, large hydroelectric reservoirs in the Northern region generate electricity according to the operating and mobilizing procedures of the operating agency.

Similarly, the Southeast and Central Highlands regions are raising the water level of reservoirs and generating electricity according to the operating and mobilizing procedures of the operating agency.

However, there are still some lakes with low water levels, including: Thac Ba, Ban Ve, Trung Son.

However, hydrological forecasts show that water flow into lakes in the next 24 hours in the Northern, Central Highlands, and Southeast regions will increase; in the North Central and South Central Coast regions, it will decrease.

Water rushes in, hydropower plants increase power generation to wait for flood EVN requires investors of hydropower plants to arrange forces to proactively and promptly handle unsafe situations that may occur, especially emergency flood discharge situations when storm No. 1 hits.
