After the Bara Do Luong dam broke at 1 a.m. on June 7, the water flowing into the canal dropped 3.2 meters below normal level. Due to the water level dropping too low, the water pumping system from the canal of the Do Luong Water Supply Station in Dong Son commune could not operate.

Mr. Vo Dang Dung - Head of Do Luong Water Supply Station said: "Water cannot be pumped since 4:30 this morning, more than 7,800 households in 7 communes and Do Luong town using water from the station have no water for daily use. On average, we have to supply 4,800 m3 of water to serve the people every day."

Since 6:30 p.m. the same day, Do Luong Water Supply Station has been forced to install an additional field pumping station to pump water from the Dao Canal. Workers are working hard to install additional hose systems, striving to pump water from the canal tonight to supply water to the people again.

At Bara Do Luong dam, excavators are working continuously throughout the night to scoop up rocks blocking the dam. According to a local resident, at 1am, after many cracking sounds, a very loud noise caused compartments 10 and 11 to be swept down into the Lam River.
