The Ngan Truoi Reservoir is a key national project to supply water for production, public use and a hydro-electric power plant to be built in the future.
The project is being built on the Ngan Truoi River in Huong Dai commune in Vu Quang district. It is designed to contain 775 million cubic metres capable of supplying water for agricultural production, aquaculture, mining projects and industrial zones, while diverting floods and improving the ecological environment in the river basin.
Eight out of 12 districts and towns of Ha Tinh province will benefit from this project which is funded by the Irrigation Works Construction and Investment Management Board under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The nearly VND6,000 billion reservoir will take five years to build.
