4,000 billion to prevent flooding in Tam Ky, don't be like 10,000 billion in Ho Chi Minh City

Lê Thanh Phong |

Quang Nam province has approved a resolution to invest in a flood prevention project for Tam Ky urban area worth 4,000 billion VND, from ODA loans.

This project will be implemented in the period 2026-2030.

Tam Ky city residents were very excited to hear this news, because for many years they have suffered from frequent flooding. The urbanization speed is fast but the traffic and drainage systems have not been invested in and built synchronously, each time it rains heavily, the water cannot drain quickly, causing flooding in many areas in Tam Ky city.

It is the responsibility of local authorities to implement flood prevention projects. Flooding cannot affect people's lives and activities.

However, implementing a flood prevention project is very expensive and requires a lot of investment, so it must be done effectively, not allowing the situation of "everything drains away except water".

This is because there have been too many lessons learned about the failure of implementing flood control projects. In Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, many projects have been implemented but flooding still occurs. This is a reality that all other localities need to pay attention to and study, so as not to make the same mistake.

Let me introduce the hottest issue in the news recently, which is the 10,000 billion VND flood prevention project of Ho Chi Minh City. The project has completed 93% of the volume, but has been "shelved" for many years and it is not known when it will continue. This is a flood prevention project that is "drowned".

Another lesson, Lao Dong Newspaper on June 9, 2024 published an article "Heavy rain, Thu Duc market turns into a floating market, flood prevention projects are not effective", analyzing the frequent heavy flooding of Thu Duc market, while on April 27, the project to build a drainage system on Vo Van Ngan street with a total investment of more than 248 billion VND was inaugurated. This means that the flood prevention project is not effective.

The answer from those responsible is that, for very heavy rains, concentrated in a relatively short period of time, the drainage system was beyond design.

Thus, when doing flood prevention projects, we must have a vision for "rain", don't let flooding happen and then answer the people "heavy rain exceeds design".

People of Tam Ky city and Quang Nam province hope that local leaders will effectively implement the flood prevention project.

Public opinion is also very interested in this project, when the message of anti-waste was given by General Secretary To Lam as a call. Localities across the country responded with action, which is to create quality, economical and highly effective products.
