In 2008, the province approved a project to supply water for locals in Luc Khu as well as highland areas in the districts of Tra Linh, Hoa An, Thong Nong, Nguyen Binh, Bao Lac and Bao Lam, which suffer water shortage in the dry season.
The project aimed to provide 27,000 locals with 45 litres of water per capita per day. So far, 14 water reservoirs and 155 tanks with a total capacity of 60,000 cubic metres have been built.
However, the project has only solved water shortages for 27,000 out of the 113,000 people in the provincial highland areas.-VNA
