The Ban Mong reservoir project is one of the national key irrigation and hydroelectric projects, which is of great significance to the economic and people's development of Nghe An province. Accordingly, the construction site is 3,396 hectares, of which 3,024 hectares are permanently located under the lake, mainly in Quy Chau district. Therefore, the commencement of the auxiliary dam, the reservoir drainage canal and Chau Binh drainage canal is extremely important, helping 600 households in Quy Chau town and infrastructure not to have to relocate, while protecting thousands of hectares of production land, along with traffic infrastructure, electricity, water, and communications in the region. Especially in the extremely difficult conditions of the land fund in the Western region, this is even more meaningful... This is a project with outstanding advantages, bringing high economic efficiency.
