Lang Son Provincial People's Committee has just issued a decision approving the List and plan for maintenance of irrigation infrastructure assets in 2026, with a total implementation cost of 20 billion VND.
According to the decision, in 2026, Lang Son province will deploy periodic repairs of 25 irrigation works items, including types such as earth dams, overflow dams, flood discharge spillways, water intake culverts, management houses, management roads and water supply systems.
These projects are currently directly managed and exploited by Lang Son Irrigation Works Exploitation One Member Limited Liability Company.
In Lang Son, many irrigation works in the province have deteriorated after a long period of exploitation, of which the most common are cracked concrete ditches, landslide soil ditches, damaged dams, outdated pumping station equipment, reducing irrigation efficiency and posing potential safety risks during the rainy and flood season.
Some items with large-scale repairs such as repairing Lung Vai lake (Na Sam commune) with a cost of more than 2.1 billion VND; repairing the system of Cao Lan lake and Hua Khao lake works (Quoc Khanh commune) serving irrigation for over 260 hectares of production land; or repairing the main canal ditch of Lan Van dam (Yen Binh commune) with an irrigation scope of up to 435 hectares.
The repaired and maintained works are widely distributed in many localities such as: Nhat Hoa, Hung Vu, Mong An, Tan Van, Yen Phuc, Van Quan, Diem He, Ky Lua, Loc Binh, Dinh Lap, Quoc Khanh, That Khe, Huu Lien...
This repair investment focuses on areas with large irrigation areas, directly affecting agricultural production, especially areas growing rice, crops and short-term industrial crops.
The total area benefited from 25 projects is estimated to reach nearly 2,000 hectares.
