Ngoc Hai had a practical inspection of the situation of anti-drought water supply at Bac Binh hydropower plant, the irrigation work management stations and some water plants
in the Northern region of the province. Accompanying with

According
to Binh Thuan Irrigation Work Exploitation LTD., CO., to May 08, 2020, the
remaining useful water volume of Song Quao lake was 9.58 million m3,
reaching 14.2% of the design; Dai Ninh hydropower lake had 23.23 million m3

Thuan Irrigation Work Exploitation LTD., CO. has built a plan to supply raw
water for water plants to serve Phan Thiet city and Ma Lam town from now until

which the water supplied from Song Quao lake is 8.94 million m3, the
additional water source from Dai Ninh lake is 2.21 million m3.
In

shortage of drinking water, lack of water for cattle and poultry and over
13,000 hectares of dragon fruit crop in Bac Binh and Ham Thuan Bac district (without
irrigation water since March 30, 2020) have been withered. Currently, Dai Ninh
Hydropower Company has adjusted the flow of generators combined with water
supply to the downstream of Dai Ninh hydropower to serve the drought prevention
of localities in Binh Thuan province with the total amount of water discharged
in May was 17.92 million m3 and in June was 20.52 million m3.
Thanks to the additional water source from Dai Ninh hydroelectricity, Bac Binh
Hydroelectricity Plant has now discharged water with the flow of about 1
million m3/day to promptly supplement water for domestic activities
and water for cattle, poultry and irrigation water for 13,000 ha of dragon
fruit crops in Bac Binh and Ham Thuan Bac district.
After
the actual inspection and listening to the reports of the relevant departments
and agencies, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Ngoc Hai

needs from now till the end of the dry season in 2020. Along with that, the
Company needs to strengthen the implementation of irrigation solutions to serve
the prevention and combat of drought, water shortage such as: Dredging intake
gates at reservoirs, weirs, routes, main channels, water transfer channels, etc...
