(Baonghean.vn) -The Vach Bac Canal has the task of draining floods for 250 km2, draining water for over 3,000 hectares of agricultural land in the north, and is a flood control belt for 12,000 hectares of other agricultural land in the two districts of Yen Thanh and Dien Chau.
However, for many years now, the encroachment and encroachment of this project has been serious. Currently, there are over 200 solid houses illegally built on the dike and the bed of the Vach Bac canal and the N18 irrigation canal. Authorities at all levels have long intervened, but the re-encroachment situation is still happening and becoming more and more complicated.
 |
| New homes are springing up |
 |
| Residents continue to pour concrete pillars to illegally build houses encroaching on the Vech Nam canal. |
 |
| And many other households put concrete piles on the North Wall dike to fight for land to assert "sovereignty". |
 |
| Irrigation canal N18 was also encroached upon by pouring concrete, narrowing the canal. |
