There are 2 water intake periods, period 1 from 0:00 on January 23 to 24:00 on January 30, 2024, period 2 from 0:00 on February 18 to 24:00 on February 21, 2024

According to the announcement of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on the water intake schedule for the 2023-2024 winter-spring rice crop, the Northern Midlands and Delta region will have 2 water releases, for a total of 12 days.

Phase 1 from 0:00 on January 23 to 24:00 on January 30, 2024 (8 days), phase 2 from 0:00 on February 18 to 24:00 on February 21, 2024 (4 days). Bac Hung Hai system is expected to take buffer water and store maximum water into the system after December 25, 2023.

In order to prepare for water intake, water storage, and water supply for the 2023-2024 winter-spring crop production effectively, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development recommends that districts, cities, towns, and companies exploiting irrigation works, based on the water discharge schedule of hydroelectric reservoirs and the water intake management plan of the Bac Hung Hai system, proactively organize and implement water intake, water storage, and water discharge in accordance with the local sowing and planting plan and crop structure.

Proactively take advantage of the time when the water level on the main river system is high to bring water to flood areas most effectively; practice water-saving irrigation, and have a plan to reserve water sources to irrigate rice and crops.

Localities and units that take water directly from the external river system must make the most of tidal peaks to take water and store water in the main canal system, increasing the area of ​​self-flowing irrigation. Proactively prepare adequate equipment and chemicals to measure salinity and regularly monitor salinity and saltwater intrusion at water intakes from external rivers to proactively take water into the system according to plan, ensuring quality.

Chi Linh City needs to pay attention to strictly managing water resources in reservoirs, not draining water from reservoirs for fishing or other purposes.

Check and repair works, machinery and equipment to ensure they meet irrigation operating conditions. Actively organize winter-spring irrigation according to plan, ensuring quality and volume to proactively bring water to floodplains to serve production.
