Amid the scorching days, workers are alternatively working day and night on the construction site of Xuan Hai sea embankment project.
Hectares of land, protective forest and many houses along coastal lines have been in serious landslide and damaged after tropical depressions and typhoons swept through Phuoc Thien and An Cuong communes in Binh Son District, Quang Ngai Province at the end of 2020.
Taking advantage of the dry season this year, the People’s Committee of Quang Ngai Province has assigned the Provincial Project Management Board to prioritize investment in Phuoc Thien - An Cuong sea embankment route worth VND100 billion (US$4.3 million) with a total length of 1.3 kilometers.
Apart from reinforcement and construction of sea embankments, the Central province has massively upgraded reservoirs of Thach Truong, Dong Vat, Cay Bom and Buoi Roi with a total capital of nearly VND66.5 billion (US$2.9 million) to increase the water storage capacity, regulate floodwater volume in the rainy season and improve the reservoirs' resistance when the flood comes, said Deputy Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quang Binh Province Mr. Doan Ngoc Lam.
To deal with the upcoming flood season, Ha Tinh Province needs a financial package from VND500 billion (US$21.7 million) to VND600 billion (US$26 million) to upgrade and repair all downgraded reservoirs in the locality.
From 2020 up to now, Ha Tinh Province has implemented two projects to upgrade 25 reservoirs with an investment capital of nearly VND500 billion (US$21.7 million). Of which, eight reservoirs in Huong Son, Huong Khe, Ky Anh and Vu Quang districts are under construction and will be completed this year, and the rest reservoirs are expected to be put into operation next year.
Deputy Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quang Tri Province Mr. Ha Sy Dong made a proposal of investment policy for Khe Muoc lake and Ben Than dam projects submitting to the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development. After the two key projects are coming into operation, they will contribute to promoting economic development and improving people's lives and ecological environment.
