(binhthuan.gov.vn) Currently,
the province has 159 small in-field irrigation works, including 22 small
reservoirs with capacity from 50,000 m3 to 500,000 m3, 127 solid dams with the
height of less than 10m, 10 pump stations with flow rate of less than 3,600 m3/h,
and about 1,966 km of in-field canals and other canal works.
According to the Department of
Agriculture and Rural Development, the construction of focal works and main
canals of our province’s medium and large irrigation systems has been basically
completed; however, there are a number of small in-field irrigation works being
damaged and degraded seriously, which is caused by limited resources and lack
of funding for regular maintenance.
Therefore, in the coming time, our
province will continue to invest in building the small in-field irrigation
system to ensure active irrigation and drainage, and to ensure the quantity and
quality of water for the concentrated rice-growing areas, the concentrated
production areas, satisfying the technical process of advanced, economical and
efficient agricultural cultivation. Focusing on repairing and upgrading the
existing works to promote the efficiency of the works in order to improve the
efficiency of water use.
Placing the priority on construction
of advanced, water-saving irrigation works for upland crops to increase incomes
and ensure people's lives.
