Stop spilling the largest irrigation lake in Nghe An

(Baonghean.vn) - Mr. Ngo Quoc Thang, Director of Hoang Mai Irrigation Enterprise said: Hoang Mai Irrigation Enterprise has not yet discharged the spillway of Vuc Mou Lake as planned.

On the afternoon of October 15, when it rained heavily, the water flowed quickly to Vuc Mau Lake, so this unit issued notice No. 57 about the expected overflow of Vuc Mau Lake at 7:00 a.m. this morning, October 16, with the number of spillways from 1 to 3.

However, from around 24:00 on October 15, the rain in the area stopped completely, the water level in the lake reached 20.91 meters, not reaching the elevation of 21 meters. Based on the weather and water level in the lake, Hoang Mai Irrigation Enterprise has not released the spillway as scheduled.

According to Mr. Thang, the water level on the lake is still rising. Hoang Mai Irrigation Enterprise will closely monitor and promptly notify the authorities and local people in the upstream and downstream areas of the spillway (when the water level exceeds 21 meters).

In the absence of tides, the discharge of 1-3 spillways in Vu Mau Lake will not cause flooding as happened in 2013.
