📋 Tender Overview
Currently, the total useful capacity of three large reservoirs Ta Trach, Binh Dien, and Huong Dien reaches 964 million m3. According to specialized agencies, this amount of water can maintain a continuous flow to the Huong River of about 70m3/s until the end of August, ensuring water source for production and daily life in this years dry season.

In Hue, in the dry season of 2026, the water level in river basins in Hue will change slightly, the average water level is approximately and higher than the average level of many years and higher than the same period in 2025. The water balance calculation results of the Institute of Irrigation Planning to serve the direction and management of water supply for agricultural production in the North Central region show that the irrigation system in the city. Hue can meet 100% of the planned irrigation area. According to the Hue Department of Irrigation and Climate Change, in recent times, the water level of hydropower plants and irrigation lakes has fluctuated quite a lot, the rainfall in March 2026 is relatively high, and the water flow to the lakes has increased. Currently, the total useful capacity of irrigation and hydroelectric reservoirs reaches 1054/1204 million m3, reaching 88% of the design capacity. Of which, the total useful capacity of 3 large reservoirs in the Huong River basin reaches 964 million m3 (Ta Trach, Binh Dien, Huong Dien), the total useful capacity of small and medium reservoirs reaches 89 million m3. With the current water volume of the 3 large reservoirs, it is possible to ensure a continuous flow to the Huong River of about 70m3/s until the end of August (not including the flow to the reservoir). This not only ensures water for production, aquaculture and daily life, but can also renew the surface water of the Huong and Bo rivers 3-4 times/day through regulation at downstream projects such as Thao Long dam, Phu Cam sluice, sluices on the dyke... However, some areas outside the works, especially mountainous and coastal areas such as Long Quang, Nam Dong, A Luoi, Vinh Loc, Phong Dien or Phu Vang... are still identified as having risk of local water shortage. Flexible management, saving each water source Mr. Nguyen Dinh Duc, Director of the City Department of Agriculture and Environment. Hue said that to cope with the risk of prolonged hot weather during the dry season, right from the beginning of 2026, the Department has issued a water supply plan for the downstream area of the Huong River, requiring localities and units to coordinate closely in operating irrigation and hydroelectric systems according to proper procedures, ensuring water supply for production and daily life, especially in case of water shortage. The Department of Irrigation and Climate Change updates monthly on water reserves, thereby promptly responding. Propose adjustments to water supply plans when there are unusual developments. Localities and units guide cooperatives and irrigation project operators to make the most of natural water resources remaining after the rainy season from ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and canals for production; At the same time, save water resources from large reservoirs to supply for future production seasons. At the same time, the crop structure must be appropriate. Areas at risk of water shortage are encouraged to switch to crops that consume less water, use short-term varieties or even temporarily fallow to avoid damage. Advanced and water-saving irrigation models are also widely deployed. In emergency situations, localities have also prepared plans such as installing field pumping stations, digging ponds and wells, and building temporary dams to store water and prevent salinity, ensuring that widespread water shortages do not occur.

Hue about the O Lau Thuong reservoir project - Photo: VGPImproving water storage and regulation capacityIn addition to the immediate solutions, the City Peoples Committee. Hue has issued a project to ensure water security and safety of dams and reservoirs until 2030, with a vision to 2045, with non-structural and structural solutions to improve resilience to heat and drought. Regarding non-structural solutions, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Dinh Duc said the locality will restructure production sectors and fields that use a lot of water, especially for agricultural production in the regions. water scarcity, saltwater intrusion, ensuring compliance with water resource conditions in each region and locality. At the same time, promote the transformation of agricultural production, restructuring seasons, areas, plant varieties, and livestock according to the value chain orientation of key product groups in accordance with local water resource conditions... Implement water saving solutions, especially for activities with high water use demand. Strengthen monitoring and inventory of water resources, digital transformation, and application of technology in the management and operation of irrigation and hydroelectric projects. Regarding construction solutions, a series of important construction projects are being researched and implemented. In particular, the O Lau Thuong reservoir project is expected to play a new fulcrum role in regulating floods, storing and supplying fresh water to the western area of the city. Along with that, there areProjects to build and upgrade reservoirs such as Thuy Cam, Khe Triet, or renovate existing projects such as Cua Lac dam, Thao Long dam... to improve water storage and regulation capacity.
