A seminar on a project to support the management of water resources in Vietnam was held in Hanoi on November 3 by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment in collaboration with the French Loire-Bretagne and Seine-Normandie water agencies.
At the seminar, French experts introduced their hands-on experience and issues related to managing water resources in the pilot project underway in the Dong Nai River basin, as well as a plan to improve the quality of the water and the process of establishing a management board.
They also gave a presentation on approaches to and methods for managing water resources, focusing on water for daily use, agriculture and industry, along with river management.
Deputy Head of the Department for Water Resources Management, Chau Tran Vinh, appreciated the practicality of the French operational model, adding that the implementation of the project and planning should be in line with the laws, especially the revised Law on Water Resources, and Vietnam’s human resources so it is carried out effectively and the model can be expanded to other river basins in the country.
The pilot project is scheduled to be completed in March next year.
