Review of Khe Bo Hydropower Plant's unprecedented flood discharge

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Luu - Director of Khe Bo Hydropower Plant (located in Tam Quang Commune, Nghe An ), by 12:00 on July 23, the flood in Khe Bo Hydropower Reservoir reached its peak with a flow of more than 7,402 ^m3 /s. Because this hydropower plant is not capable of cutting floods, the plant was forced to discharge water through the project at the same time with a flow of more than 7,402 ^m3 /s, the sluice gates were fully opened.

"This is a historic flood, the first time Khe Bo hydropower reservoir has had to release floodwaters with such a large flow. The release of floodwaters has also caused flooding downstream. But the hydropower plant cannot help but release," said Mr. Luu.
