On November 22, the People's Committee of Dong Nai province sent a document to 17 hydropower plants (Tri An, Phu Tan 2, Dong Nai 2, Dong Nai 3, Dong Nai 4, Dong Nai 5, Dai Ninh, Da Nhim-Ham Thuan-Da Mi, Can Don, Thac Mo, Dak U, Srok Phu Mieng, Dak Glun, Thong Nhat, Dak Glun 2, Bu Ca Mau, Dak Kar), requesting coordination in providing information to regulate overflow and flood discharge downstream of hydropower reservoirs in the basin of Dong Nai, La Nga, and Song Be rivers.
According to the People's Committee of Dong Nai province, from November 7, the water level on the La Nga River was high and remained maintained until November 18 (the water level at 7:00 p.m. on November 18 at Phu Hiep station on the La Nga River was 105.34 m, 0.16 m lower than alert level 2), which broke and overflowed the embankment (which people built themselves) along the La Nga River, causing flooding of about 600 hectares of rice and crops of people in Phu Hoa commune.
