Faced with this situation, the plant has reduced the discharge flow to 1,000 m³/s through 6 gates, almost equivalent to the amount of water flowing into the lake. Currently, the water level in the lake is at an elevation of 200m. All employees of the company are on duty 100% to ensure continuous and stable operation. Currently, out of 35 measuring stations along the basin, only 1-2 stations have recorded rain, the weather is stable, the entire system is under control.
