| Black & Veatch to Improve Water Supply in Southern Vietnam Black & Veatch has commenced work on a $5.3 million contract with the Vietnamese Government to oversee and manage the Phuoc Hoa Water Resources Project, which will benefit approximately 30,000 households located in and around Ho Chi Minh City. The project will improve water supplies for domestic and industrial use within the city and will increase Southern Vietnam's aquaculture and agricultural output in more than 48,000 hectares (118,560 acres) of irrigation areas while developing better salinity control in downstream reaches of the Be, Saigon and Vam Co Dong rivers. The project is being funded jointly by the Asian Development Bank and Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD), the Government and project beneficiaries. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will execute the project, which is scheduled for completion in 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
