Vietnamese plants raise discharges for drought relief

摘要

Operators of four hydro plants in Vietnam's Quang Nam Province were asked in May to increase their water discharge to save about 15,000 hectares of drought-stricken rice growing areas. Owners of the 190 MW Song Tranh 2, 70 MW Song Con, 210 MW A Vuong and 220 MW Dak Mi 4 complexes received the request from Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade and utility company Electricity of Vietnam. The four hydropower plants sit on the Vu Gia and Thu Bon rivers in central Vietnam.
