Many sewers are running at full capacity to prevent flooding.
(Baonghean.vn) - Due to the prolonged heavy rain over a large area, on September 26 and 27, many drainage culverts in the province were discharged at full capacity to prevent flooding.
At this time, Dien Thanh drainage,(Dien Chau), workers are on duty operating. Mr. Nguyen Duc Hanh - Director of Dien Chau Irrigation Enterprise said: Dien Thanh drainage culvert mainly drains floods for Dien Chau and Yen Thanh districts. Since 2019, this drainage culvert has been upgraded so it operates smoothly, there is no longer a situation of water hyacinth stuck at the culvert gate.
On the morning of September 27, when the tide was low, the unit opened three sluice gates, each 19 meters wide, with a discharge level of nearly 600 m.3/s. At Dien Thuy sluice, Dien Ngoc commune, this morning all 3 sluice gates were discharged with a discharge level of over 100 m3/s, workers are actively salvaging water hyacinth right at the sluice gate.
At Nghi Quang sluice gate (Nghi Loc) since the morning of September 27, water has been discharged at full capacity. Mr. Hoang Van Huong - Station Chief said: Nghi Quang sluice gate discharges floodwater for Nghi Loc district, Hung Nguyen, Vinh city and part of Nam Dan district.
The sluice has 13 electrically operated gates, all fully opened with a discharge capacity of over 300 m3/s. Current difficulties, Nghi Quang sluice gate has many degraded items, such as the valve system is broken, causing operational limitations.
Also at this time, Binh Son drainage culvert in Quynh Hung commune and drainage culvert 4B in Quynh Thanh commune, Quynh Luu district are discharging at a level of 30-35 m.3/s, the two above culverts drain floodwaters for the communes of Quynh Thach, Quynh Hong, Quynh Van, and Quynh Ba. Currently, the Binh Son culvert area is covered with water hyacinth, making flood drainage very difficult. Workers at Binh Son culvert have to take turns to salvage water hyacinths right at the mouth of this culvert.
