Responding to heavy rains, Hue simultaneously regulated water in hydroelectric reservoirs.

With forecasts of prolonged heavy rain that could cause widespread flooding, hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs in the province have simultaneously operated to regulate water to ensure safety in downstream areas.

Huong Dien Hydropower Reservoir regulates flood discharge through spillway, October 29

On the morning of November 12, the Hue City Civil Defense Command issued an order to operate and regulate the Binh Dien Hydropower Reservoir (upstream of the Huong River) to proactively respond to the prolonged heavy rain in the coming days. The reservoir is discharged through the spillway and turbine with a gradually increasing flow rate from 200 to 800m³/s, adjusted according to the actual amount of water flowing into the reservoir. The discharge rate will start increasing from 3:00 p.m. on the same day.

Ta Trach Lake gradually increases the water flow to regulate downstream, with the fluctuation level from 300 - 800m³/s.

Previously, on the afternoon of November 11 and the morning of November 12, the Hue City Civil Defense Command also requested the Huong Dien hydropower reservoir (upstream of the Bo River) and Ta Trach reservoir (Huong River) to gradually increase the discharge flow from 300 - 700m³/s and 300 - 800m³/s respectively. The regulation will also be flexibly adjusted depending on the water flow to the reservoir.

According to the Hue City Hydrometeorological Station, from November 12 to 21, due to the influence of increased cold air combined with high-altitude easterly wind disturbances, the Hue City area will have moderate to heavy rain, with some places experiencing very heavy rain. Total rainfall is generally from 500 - 700mm, in mountainous areas from 700 - 900mm, and in some places exceeding 1,000mm.
