Ke Go Lake and many large lakes in Ha Tinh overflowed before heavy rain forecast

Ke Go Lake is operated to discharge water through Doc Mieu spillway with a flow rate of 5 - 90 ^m3 /second.

Director of Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company, Tran Manh Cuong, said: from 10:00 on October 21, the unit will operate to regulate the water of Ke Go Lake (Cam Due Commune) through Doc Mieu spillway with a flow rate of 5 - 90m3/ ^second . Before the spillway discharge, the water level of Ke Go Lake was at 29.19m. The end time will depend on the weather and water level of the lake.

According to Mr. Cuong, the spillway of Ke Go Lake is to proactively respond to the heavy rain from the night of October 22 to 25 with a flow of 150 - 300mm due to the influence of storm circulation and cold air combined with East wind disturbance, terrain effects and East wind after the storm.

Many large reservoirs in Ha Tinh are operating to regulate water ahead of forecasts of heavy rain.

Besides Ke Go lake, to proactively respond to the forecast of heavy rain caused by storm No. 10, Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited will simultaneously operate spillway discharge of large reservoirs in the province, including: Boc Nguyen, Kim Son, Thuong Song Tri,

While Kim Son Lake and Thuong Song Tri Lake will be overflowing from 8am on October 21, Boc Nguyen Lake will start regulating water from 10am on the same day with a flow rate of 5 - 110 ^m3 /second.

Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited requested that downstream localities urgently notify, urge, and guide people to implement measures to ensure safety of life and property.

In addition to proactively releasing overflows from large reservoirs, the water levels of small reservoirs in the province have reached the spillway level and some have already exceeded the spillway. With the forecasted rainfall, the water levels of these reservoirs will increase and flow freely through the spillway with an expected flow rate of 1 - 50 ^m3 /second.
