Mr. Tran Phi Hung, Head of the Agriculture and Rural Development Department of Thanh Chuong district, said: The investment in installing 6 new pumping stations along the Lam River will contribute to ensuring water supply right from the beginning of the irrigation season for over 3,000 hectares of spring rice in the district. Currently, the entire district still has over 20 pumping stations managed by communes, built from the 1980s to the present, which are seriously dilapidated and urgently need investment for upgrading.
