According to data from Vietnam Electricity Group, at 3:00 PM on May 23, in the North Central region, Trung Son Hydropower reservoir recorded an upstream water level of 157.65m, water inflow to the reservoir reached 148m3/s and the total discharge through the plant was 82m3/s.
Ban Ve Hydropower Lake currently has a water level of 181.95m, nearly 18m lower than the normal water level. Inflow to the lake reached 184m3/s, total discharge volume 331m3/s.
Meanwhile, the Khe Bo Hydropower reservoir reached an elevation of 64.52m, approaching the normal water level of 65m. The water flow to the reservoir reached more than 315m3/s, the total discharge through the plant was at 434.6m3/s.
Quang Tri Hydropower Reservoir has a low water flow to the reservoir, only about 2m3/s, the total discharge volume is maintained at 18m3/s.
In the South Central region, A Vuong Hydropower reservoir has a water level of 366.3m, water inflow to the reservoir reaches 15.77m3/s and total discharge is nearly 79m3/s.
Reservoirs on the Bung River system continue to operate stably. Song Bung 2 Hydropower Reservoir discharges 17m3/s, while Song Bung 4 Hydropower discharges 154m3/s through the plant.
Song Tranh 2 Hydropower Reservoir has a total discharge rate of 215m3/s, while Song Ba Ha Hydropower discharges 326m3/s.
In the Central Highlands, many hydropower reservoirs recorded high inflows and discharges. Ialy Hydropower Reservoir has a total discharge rate of 446m3/s; Se San 3 Hydropower Plant discharges 486m3/s and Se San 3A Hydropower Plant discharges 533m3/s.
Notably, some reservoirs have discharged through spillways. An Khe Hydropower Reservoir discharges 8m3/s and opens 1 surface discharge gate. Srepok 3 Hydropower Reservoir discharges 0.8m3/s and opens 2 deep discharge gates.
Buon Kuop Hydropower Lake is opening 1 deep discharge gate with a spillway discharge flow of 15.77m3/s. The remaining reservoirs such as Dong Nai 3 Hydropower Plant, Dong Nai 4 Hydropower Plant, Ham Thuan Hydropower Plant and Da Mi Hydropower Plant mainly regulate water through power generation, not surface discharge.
