In addition, the specialized industry should calculate a reasonable time to combine the Nguyen Tan Thanh steel dam. Tien Giang Department of Agriculture and Rural Development develops the scenario in the next four days, dealing with each situation in supplying water for daily life to people as well as water for production, etc...
Previously, on the afternoon of February 17, Chairman of Tien Giang People's Committee Le Van Huong and the specialized branch came to inspect Cai La sewer and Giong Tre sewers in Hiep Duc commune, Cai Lay district.
According to local and functional, the water source here currently is not salty so they suggest opening sewers to get water into the fields for production and life. Comrade Le Van Huong accepted to open the sewers to get water but he noted that the professional branch must carefully measure the salinity and always monitor during the intake process before opening the sewers.
