Hue authorities manage hydropower reservoirs amid heavy rain warnings

The Civil Defense Command of Hue City has ordered the A Luoi and A Lin B1 hydropower plants to regulate water discharge to ensure the safety of infrastructure and downstream areas. This measure follows forecasts of heavy rainfall exceeding 500mm.

The A Luoi reservoir will gradually increase its spillway discharge to a flow rate of up to 900 m³/s starting at 10:00 on November 9. The A Lin B1 reservoir will similarly increase its discharge to up to 500 m³/s starting at 08:00 on November 9.

Authorities have instructed the Central Vietnam Hydropower Joint Stock Company and Truong Phu Hydropower Joint Stock Company to notify residents in downstream areas and the A Luoi 1, 2, and 3 communes to prepare for potential flooding. Local agencies are also tasked with monitoring weather developments and ensuring safety at flooded roads or landslide-prone areas.
