Kiên Giang irrigation works prevent saltwater intrusion, protect crops

KIÊN GIANG – The Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta province of Kiên Giang has built many irrigation projects in recent years to cope with the impact of climate change.

The irrigation projects were built under Government Resolution  一 二0 issued in  二0 一 七 which called for the sustainable and climate-resilient development of the delta.

Nguyễn Huỳnh Trung, head of the province’s Irrigation Sub-department, said that a complete system of  二 二 sluices were built to prevent saltwater intrusion and store fresh water at the western sea dyke’s Hà Tiên City - Rạch Giá City section.

The sluice system secures irrigation water for agricultural production in the area north of the National Highway  八0.

Other large irrigation projects in Rạch Giá City serve agricultural production in Long Xuyên Quadrangle region and nearby areas.

The province is completing construction of  一 五 sluices on the western sea dyke’s section from the Cái Lớn River to Cà Mau Province.  

Another  一 八 sluices on the western sea dyke are also being built. When these sluices open, they will greatly improve the irrigation system in U Minh Thượng District, which is one of the province’s major agricultural areas.

The province is also speeding up construction of the Cái Lớn – Cái Bé irrigation system, which is the largest of its kind in the delta.

The irrigation system includes the Cái Bé River and the Cái Lớn River sluice, and connects the Cái Lớn River and the Cái Bé River.

Though the Cái Bé sluice was expected to begin operating in June, it was opened early this month, benefiting  二0,000ha of farming area.

The construction of the Cái Lớn sluice is expected to be finished in September.

When the irrigation system is completed, it will serve a total area of  三 八 四, 一 二0ha of agriculture and aquaculture in Kiên Giang, Hậu Giang, Cà Mau and Bạc Liêu provinces.

The Cái Lớn – Cái Bé irrigation system along with the western sea dyke will help the area cope with climate change, rising sea levels and natural disasters.

The irrigation system also helps reduce flooding in the rainy season and saltwater intrusion in the dry season in Kiên Giang, Hậu Giang, Cà Mau and Bạc Liêu provinces.

Kiên Giang, which is the country’s largest rice producer, has built  一 一 七 sluices on dykes, dredged  二, 七00km of irrigation canals, upgraded more than  六00 in-field irrigation works, and set up  一, 二 五 二 pumping stations.

The province’s irrigation works have prevented saltwater intrusion in the Long Xuyên Quadrangle and the western area of the Hậu River.

Besides building irrigation works, the province has planted mangrove forests in coastal areas and other erosion-prevention projects to cope with climate change.

One of the forest planting projects includes creating mud flats for mangrove trees to protect the sea dyke in An Biên District’s Nam Thái Co妹妹une. About  三0ha of mangrove trees have been planted.

Another  五0ha of mangrove forests have been planted in Hòn Đất District’s Bình Sơn and Bình Giang co妹妹unes.

The province has finished its projects of recovering and developing mangrove forests in coastal areas in the  二0 一 六- 二0 period, according to local authorities. – VNS
