Two automatic flood alert systems were put into operation on Friday on the Dong Nghe Lake and at a culvert spillway which stretch from Hoa Phong Commune’s Nam Thanh Village to Hoa Phu Commune’s An Chau Village, Hoa Vang District, Da Nang.

The installation of an automatic flood alert system at the culvert spillway in Hoa Vang District

The installation of the two flood warning systems was conducted by the Irrigation Agency under the Da Nang Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

In detail, one placed on the Dong Nghe Lake will automatically operate when the lake is overflowing due to an excessive amount of rainwater, hereby giving flood warnings through a loudspeaker to warn people travelling from downstream areas not to enter flooded drainage ditches.

The other at the culvert spillways will release light signals and warnings through the speaker systems placed at both ends of a road when floodwater flows over the road surface.
