Quang Tien pumping station is responsible for pumping water for the three communes of Pham Tran, Nhat Tan, and Dong Quang (Gia Loc). From 5 p.m. on September 12, when the power was restored, the station operated emergency pumping to prevent flooding in the basin. However, due to the high water level of the main canal, the station had to stop pumping at some points. From September 14, when the water level of the rivers gradually decreased, the station operated at full capacity with 10 pumps to drain the flood.

Since September 14, when the water levels of the rivers have decreased, pumping and draining of flooded fields has been urgently deployed throughout the province.

According to Gia Loc District Irrigation Works Exploitation Enterprise, on September 15, the unit operated 17 pumping stations with a total capacity of nearly 150,000 m3/hour.

In Ninh Giang, by September 15, the Luoc River water level was below alert level I, 13 pumping stations with a total of 69 pumps were pumping simultaneously. This is the locality with the largest pumping capacity in the province with nearly 250,000 m3/hour.

When the water level in the river outside gradually decreases, Cong Le pumping station (Ninh Giang) is operated to pump out flood water.

Enterprises exploiting irrigation works, based on the production situation of each locality, divide the pumping and drainage areas appropriately. Priority is given to drainage for specialized vegetable growing areas, rice production, and concentrated aquaculture.

In addition to large pumping stations, commune-level pumping stations also actively pump and drain water, quickly draining it into the canal. Cooperatives proactively clear the flow to pump and drain water in a timely manner.

In addition to the pumping stations managed by the province, Bac Hung Hai Irrigation Works Exploitation One Member Co., Ltd. is operating at maximum capacity the My Dong pumping station. From September 11 to 13, the station had to stop pumping due to rising water levels on the outer river.
