In the field of irrigation - water security, the Irrigation Investment and Construction Management Board 1 held an inauguration ceremony for the Ban Mong Reservoir Center Cluster Phase 1 in Tam Hop Commune.
The project was approved in 2009, after many years of interruption due to capital difficulties, and has now completed important focal items, with a lake capacity of more than 224 million m3, combined with irrigation water for nearly 19,000 hectares, supplementing the dry season flow of the Ca River, generating electricity with a capacity of 45 MW, reducing floods downstream and improving the ecological environment.
