An Giang operates a sewer system to serve production, flood prevention and control, and high tides.

To proactively regulate water, prevent and fight floods, high tides, control salinity, and combine serving waterway traffic at sluices in 48 communes of Kien Giang province (old) during the rainy and flood season to better serve production and people's lives, the Provincial Irrigation Department announces the following operating plan:

The An Bien - An Minh coastal sluice system (including the communes of Tay Yen, Dong Thai, Tan Thanh, Dong Hung, Van Khanh, An Minh) is operating to control salinity and store fresh water for rice production in the 2025 - 2026 crop season as requested by the localities. At the same time, it is proactively and flexibly operated to drain water, prevent flooding and prevent high tides.

The sluices on the dike line outside the U Minh Thuong buffer zone (U Minh Thuong commune) actively open and close sluices to drain water and prevent flooding; the Irrigation Sub-Department coordinates with local authorities to regularly check the situation and developments of water resources in the buffer zone to open and close sluices to control salinity and prevent high tides when required.

The O Mon - Xa No dyke system (including Vinh Hoa Hung, Hoa Thuan, and Hoa Hung communes) operates all sluices freely to drain water.

The Chau Thanh area sewer system (Binh An commune) is actively opened and closed to drain water, prevent flooding, handle environmental pollution, and prevent tidal intrusion; the Irrigation Sub-Department regularly checks the salinity and water situation in the area during high tides and saline intrusion to proactively advise and coordinate with the Southern Irrigation Exploitation Company Limited to operate the Cai Lon - Cai Be irrigation system to serve production and people's daily life.

The Rach Gia area sewer system operates one-way sluice gates to the sea to drain floods and discharge pollution: Kien River sluice gate opens 5/5 gates; sluice gate No. 1 opens 1/1 gate. The remaining sluice gates are opened and closed appropriately to control salinity, drain floods, prevent inundation or prevent high tides when required; The Provincial Irrigation Department coordinates with Vinh Thong Ward People's Committee to proactively open and close sluice gates in the ward to serve production.

The Long Xuyen quadrangle drainage system (including the communes and wards of My Thuan, Son Kien, Hon Dat, Binh Son, Binh Giang, Kien Luong, Hoa Dien, Giang Thanh, To Chau, Ha Tien): Tha La and Tra Su drainages are open to regulate floods. The remaining drainages are open one way to the sea to drain floods for aquaculture and prepare for irrigation pumping for the winter-spring crop according to local requirements.

The Provincial Irrigation Department requests the People's Committees of communes and wards to widely inform people about the sluice operation schedule to be proactive in production and water circulation through the sluices; limit the adverse effects of sluice operation on production, aquaculture and water vehicles of people in the area.

Timely check, reinforce, and raise low, weak dike and embankment sections at risk of overflow, breakage, and landslides to ensure production safety; review and inspect damage to irrigation works in the assigned management area to repair damage (if any) to promptly prevent floods, high tides, and abnormal sea level rise from overflowing into the fields.
