The Nghi Quang Bara sluice gate drains floodwaters from Nghi Loc, Hung Nguyen districts, Vinh City, and part of Nam Dan district. However, in recent days, water hyacinths have accumulated and become densely stuck at the sluice gates, forcing workers to spend nights removing and clearing the weeds to ensure the gates are clear.

Mr. Hoang Van Huong, head of the Nghi Quang sluice gate station, said: "The sluice gate has 13 electrically operated gates, and all gates have now been raised, with a discharge flow rate of over 280 m³."3However, due to water hyacinths getting stuck in the drain openings, flood drainage is very difficult.
