Farmers Rush to Save Crops, Hue Raises Landslide Alert
On the afternoon of June 12, the Hue City Flood and Storm Control Headquarters issued an order to regulate the Binh Dien hydroelectric reservoir in the upper reaches of the Huong River due to heavy rain influenced by Storm No. 1.
Consequently, the reservoir will discharge water through the spillway and turbine with a gradually increasing flow rate, ranging from 50 – 700 m3/s. This process commenced at 19:30 on June 12. As of 15:00 on the same day, the water level at the Binh Dien hydroelectric reservoir reached +82.75 m, with an inflow of 1,411 m3/s and no outflow to the downstream area. This regulation aims to gradually lower the water level in the reservoir, increase flood control capacity, and ensure the safety of the structure and downstream areas during future storms and floods.
Many rice fields in Hue are submerged.
As of the afternoon of June 12, due to the impact of Storm No. 1, Hue City experienced heavy rain. In the past 24 hours, moderate to heavy rain occurred in the area, with extremely heavy rain in some locations such as Bach Ma with 760 mm, and the Bach Ma National Park with 606.2 mm (Phu Loc); Binh Dien with 304.8 mm, Hoa My Lake with 350.8 mm, and Rao Trang Hydropower Plant No. 4 with 304.4 mm, Khe Tre with 501.6 mm, and Hong Van with 427.4 mm (A Luoi); Phu Son: 347.4 mm, and Phu Bai Lake: 314.6 mm (TX.Huong Thuy)…

Due to the intense and concentrated rainfall in the coastal plain areas, followed by the central and mountainous regions, about 12,758 hectares of rice and vegetable crops were flooded. Local authorities and the Thua Thien Hue Irrigation and Water Supply Company are actively operating pumps to drain the flooded areas.
Many summer-autumn rice fields are inundated.

Mr. Minh requested that local authorities mobilize forces and equipment to clear water flow paths and timely operate drainage systems to minimize damage to people. He also instructed specialized units to closely monitor weather developments and proactively implement protective measures for agricultural production, especially for newly sown rice fields and crops in the growth stage.
The construction of the stage for the Miss Vietnam pageant final night at the floating stage on the Huong River is proceeding urgently.
The heavy rain caused by Storm No. 1 has led to near-saturated soil moisture in some areas of A Luoi, Phu Loc, Phu Vang, Huong Thuy Town, Huong Tra, and Phong Dien districts. In the next 6 hours, Hue is expected to continue receiving heavy rain, with accumulated rainfall ranging from 40-70 mm, and some areas exceeding 80 mm. Therefore, there is a high risk of flash floods in small rivers and streams, as well as landslides in hilly areas, within the next 6 hours.
Hue has raised the risk level of natural disasters caused by floods, landslides, and land subsidence due to heavy rain or water flow to Level 2.
