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.
