STANDARDS

INDUSTRY STANDARD 14TCN 122-2002: STANDARD FOR FLOOD PREVENTION IN THE RED RIVER DELTA

(Issued pursuant to Decision No. 60/2002/QD-BNN dated July 5, 2002 of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development)

1. General Provisions

1.1 This standard specifies the flood prevention frequency for the Red River Delta region and the design water level for dikes of Class III and above in the Red and Thai Binh Rivers systems.

1.2 This standard is used to approve planning projects for flood control systems in the Red River Delta, including reservoirs, dikes, and flood diversion and drainage works.

2. Flood Prevention Standard for the Red River Delta

2.1 The flood prevention frequency for the Red River Delta is specified in Table 2.1.

Table 2.1. Flood Prevention Frequency for the Red River Delta

Flood Prevention Standards  Hanoi City Center  Other Areas
1. Current Stage, Flood Prevention in August 1971
 - Assurance Frequency, % 0,8 0,8
- Recurrence Period, Years 125 125
2. Post-Dai Thi Reservoir Stage
 - Assurance Frequency, % 0,4 0,67
- Recurrence Period, Years 250 150
3. Post-Son La, Dai Thi Reservoir Stage
a. Case where the flood storage capacity of reservoirs constructed on the Da River is 7 billion cubic meters of water
 - Assurance Frequency, % 0,2 0,33
- Recurrence Period, Years 500 300
b. Case where the flood storage capacity of reservoirs constructed on the Da River exceeds 7 billion cubic meters of water
 - Assurance Frequency, % <0,2 <0,33
- Recurrence Period, Years >500 >300

Note: The flood prevention frequency in Table 2.1 includes measures such as reservoirs, flood retardation, dikes, and drainage works according to the flood prevention plan for the river system.

2.2 The design water level for dikes in the Red and Thai Binh Rivers systems is specified in Table 2.2

 Table 2.2. Design Water Level for Dikes in the Red and Thai Binh Rivers Systems

Flood Prevention Standards  Hanoi Dike (Special Class)  Class I, II, III Dikes
 - Design Water Level for Hanoi Dike, m:  13,4  13,1
 - Design Water Level for Pha Lai Dike, m:  -  7,2

 Note:

1. The design water level for Hanoi Dike (Hanoi Hydrological Station) and Pha Lai Dike (Pha Lai Hydrological Station) is specified in Table 2.2 based on the dike class for each corresponding dike level calculation;

2. The basis for selecting the water level at Pha Lai Dike at 7.2m is equivalent to the water level at Hanoi Dike at 13.10m;

3. The height is taken according to the national elevation system 14TCN 102-2002.

2.3 When planning and designing new reservoirs with a total capacity of 300 million cubic meters of water or more on the Red and Thai Binh Rivers systems, they must have flood storage capacity based on economic and technical comparisons and flood prevention requirements of the system, decided by the competent authority and agreed upon by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
