Urgently transport clean water and mobile water purifiers to the flooded areas of Western Nghe An
Nghe An Water Supply Joint Stock Company urgently coordinated with relevant agencies to supply domestic water to people in flood-affected areas.
After the flood receded, mountainous communes in western Nghe An faced a serious shortage of domestic water. Thousands of tons of mud and soil flooded into houses; wells and water tanks were flooded and polluted. The domestic water supply system was severely damaged, many water tanks collapsed, making clean water scarce, posing a potential risk of disease outbreaks after the flood.
Faced with the urgent situation, Nghe An Water Supply Joint Stock Company and the health sector have urgently deployed measures to provide clean water and handle water pollution for the people. Many clean water trucks, tankers and mobile water purifiers have been mobilized to provide water to people at isolated locations.
In Con Cuong commune, areas that suffered heavy damage such as Lam Bong, Tan Dan, Lien Tan, block 2, block 9, Cau hamlet block 4, Tien Thanh and Thanh Nam have all been provided with clean water support plans. On the morning of July 26, water was supplied to block 2, Southwest Nghe An Regional General Hospital, Cau hamlet block 4 and Tien Thanh.
Mr. Ho Duc Manh - representative of Nghe An Water Supply Joint Stock Company said: The unit has widely announced the water supply point, many people proactively brought cans and plastic barrels to get water. Single-parent families and elderly people living deep in the alleys and unable to access the tanker trucks are all supported by the authorities to transport water to their homes.
During the day, tankers continued to move to Tam Quang and Tuong Duong communes to serve the people. In addition, many businesses and philanthropists also joined hands to support, donating thousands of bottles of mineral water to people in flooded areas, making efforts to ensure that no one lacks clean water in difficult times.
Not only food shortages, clean water is currently an essential and urgent need in many flood-affected areas. The police, military and local people are also actively participating in disinfecting and treating well water; at the same time, propagating to people not to subjectively use dirty water. Ensuring clean water is not only a temporary solution but also an important task to stabilize life and prevent epidemics after natural disasters.
