In the eastern communes of Quang Ngai province, there are currently 127 reservoirs. The capacity of irrigation reservoirs has now reached an average of about 69%. As for Nuoc Trong reservoir, the water level is at 119.24m. Dakdrinh hydropower reservoir, the water level is at 402.63m. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep spoke at the meeting. In the western communes of Quang Ngai province, there are 84 reservoirs.

Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep requested Quang Ngai province to direct all owners of irrigation and hydropower reservoirs to carefully inspect the works, proactively operate and regulate the reservoirs, reserve capacity to receive water, and cut floods for downstream areas. When water needs to be released, it must be promptly notified so that people in the downstream area know and proactively take precautions. The representative of the owner of the Dakdrinh hydropower reservoir reported on the reservoir's operation in recent days. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep emphasized that it is absolutely forbidden to let sudden flood discharges or floods overlap. Strengthen the on-duty force, closely monitor the water level in the reservoir, effectively respond to heavy rains, protect the lives and property of people downstream and the safety of the project.
