Hydrology and potential hydropower

a) Hydrology: Dak Nong is the network of rivers and streams are distributed fairly throughout. This is more convenient to exploit water resources for agricultural production, construction of hydropower plants to serve the industry and economic needs of students. The river flows through the territory of the province:

Srepok River by two tributaries Nô and Krong Krong Na confluence with each other in operation Buon Dray (district Krong Na).. Flow through the province on the territory Cu Jut district. The river is relatively steep, flowing from an elevation of 400 m in altitude up to 150 m at the border Cambodia. When running through the province of Dak Nong, the complex tectonic geology, river becomes narrow and steep to create the most majestic waterfall, has a beautiful natural landscape, has potential hydropower offers economic value. The operation is being put into operation for tourism and hydropower development. Gang springs Dak, Dak Nir, Dray H'Linh, and so on down the river Ea Tuor Sesepok. Some streams in the area east and north as spring Dak Mil district of Dak Ken, Dak Lau, Dak Sor also are derived the Srepok River.

Krong River Nô. Derived from the 2000 m high mountains southeast province of Dak Lak, Krong Nô flows through the distric. Krong river it means very important for production and living population in the province. Also many other large and small streams are distributed fairly throughout the district Krong No, Cu Jut Dak Mam as streams, Dak Ro, Ri Dak, Dak Nang.

 Notably:

Dak Rung streams originating from the region Hanh Thuan, Dak Nong locality flows through a length of 90 km. Streams have water flowing year round, creating favorable conditions for the construction of lakes, small dams for production and living population.

Dak Nong traffic streams average 12.44 m3 / s, the largest flow of 87.8 m3 / s and the smallest 0.5 m3 / s. Largest flow Moduyn 338 m3/skm2 average 47.9 m3/skm2, the smallest 1.9 m3/skm2.

Stream is the boundary between Bukso Dak Dak Song and Dak R'Lap district, with water all year round ability to build more dams offer.

DakR'Lap stream basin has an area of 55.2 km2, is the system of headwater streams Thac Mo hydropower.

Dak R'Tih springs and streams of small flows of the Dong Nai River, the source of the Tri An hydro-electric power.

There are also springs originate from the southwestern district of Dak Mil flowing into the Dong Nai River.

The province also has many lakes, dams just to keep the work has the potential to develop tourism as West Lake, Truc Lake, Ea T'Linh lake, lakes, etc. Dak Rong

Network of streams and rivers, lakes ponds and dense it is convenient for the construction of irrigation projects, small hydropower, water supply for economic sectors and residential activities.

Flood regime: To be the dominant power of Nô Krong River. In Germany Trans large floods often occur in September, 10. Every year the river is often flooded in some areas of the southern district of Krong Nô. Srepok River flood is a combination of the two rivers flood Nô and Krong Krong Na, floods occur in September and 10.

 b) potential for hydropower. Rivers and streams in the province of Dak Nong has abundant hydropower potential. Srepok river systems have economic reserves are evaluated approximately 2.6 billion KWh. Headwater stream systems of the Dong Nai River, Krong No, Srepok can build many large hydropower plants with total capacity of around 1,500 MW hydropower as DrayH'Linh II is under construction, 92 MW hydro German Trans , hydroelectric TuaSrah 85 MW, 140 MW hydropower Tih Dak, Dak NTao TD, TD Dak number, etc. have been agreed upon, is calling for gradually constructing.

In addition, small streams across the network in the province has high potential to develop small hydroelectric power production and service activities for upland villages difficulties in building the grid.

- Forest resources: Forest land area is 374,387 hectares of forests, cover the whole province reached 57.5%, which is mainly natural forest 366,988 ha, accounting for 98%. Natural forests are evenly distributed throughout the district, concentrated mainly in mountainous regions, has effects watershed, erosion, protect the environment.
