Dong Thap needs to address 8 canal bank erosion points.

On June 3rd, the People's Committee of Dong Thap province announced that the locality currently has 8 canal bank erosion points that require further treatment and the construction of protective structures, with a total estimated cost of over 4,700 billion VND.

The erosion of the banks of the Tra Tan canal in Long Tien commune, Dong Thap province, needs to be addressed to meet the transportation needs of the people.

Specifically, some sections requiring remediation include: the Can Loc River embankment (phase 2), the anti-erosion embankment east of the Tra Tan canal, addressing erosion in front of the Thien Ho market area (Hau My commune); addressing erosion and relocating dikes in My Duc Tay, Cai Be, and Thanh Hung communes; the embankment from the fruit park to Cai Be 2 bridge; addressing erosion along the Tien River section passing through Thoi Son and Tan Long islets; addressing erosion along the Tien River section passing through Cao Lan ward and My An Hung commune; and addressing erosion along the Tien River section passing through Dong Thap province.

According to the People's Committee of Dong Thap province, the project to address landslides along the Tien River section passing through Dong Thap province is expected to cost approximately 2,900 billion VND. These landslides have caused damage to household property, transportation infrastructure, and agricultural land. Therefore, the locality needs investment to address the problem and construct protective structures.

Numerous sections of canal banks in Dong Thap province have collapsed due to erosion, causing difficulties for the local people.

From 2016 to the present, Dong Thap province has completed the investment in 42 riverbank erosion control projects, with a total length of approximately 48km and a cost of nearly 4,500 billion VND; and 7 coastal erosion control projects have been completed, with a length of over 28.7km and a total cost of over 1,000 billion VND.
