The purpose of opening the bottom sluice gates is to gradually bring the upstream water level of Hoa Binh reservoir back to the highest water level during the main flood season (not exceeding 101m).

To proactively implement preventive measures to ensure the safety of people and property, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development requests that provinces downstream of the Hoa Binh hydropower plant immediately notify all levels of government, the public, organizations operating on or along the river, aquaculture facilities, water transport vehicles, and ferry terminals about the flood release; and review and ensure the safety of construction projects and activities related to the extraction, stockpiling, and transshipment of sand and gravel.

At the same time, provinces need to direct relevant agencies and units to coordinate with reservoir owners to implement measures to ensure the safety of curious people who approach the area to watch the flood release.
