The province also aims to upgrade the existing waterpipeline system in Tan Phu Dong district, which suffers up to six months of saline intrusion each year. The move helps bring clean water from the Dong TamWater Station to district’s public water supply points. Besides, 56 new water pipelines, with atotal length of 52,000 metres, will be built for residential areas facing water shortage.

Since the early dry season of this year, hundreds of water taps have beeninstalled to serve for free residents living far from clean concentrated watersupply sources and in coastal areas which are seriously impacted by saline intrusion anddroughts. Clean water tanks have also been placed in several public places tohelp locals during the dry period.
