Delegates attending the conference.

Son La is a province with great potential for water resources, with 35 large streams, the two main rivers are the 280 km long Da River and the 90 km long Ma River, along with many tributaries. The density of rivers and streams here is 1.3 km per km², but the distribution is uneven. Rivers and streams often have steep slopes and many rapids due to the high, deeply divided mountainous terrain. According to the plan, the province's surface water volume is about 19 billion m³ each year, mainly rainwater stored in the Da River and Ma River. The province's groundwater volume is estimated at more than 3 million m³ per day and night.

Due to the impact of climate change, along with the increasing demand for water for economic sectors, there is a shortage of water for production and daily life in some areas. Along with that, water sources are being polluted due to untreated wastewater and plastic waste being discharged directly into the environment. The overuse of fertilizers and pesticides also has a serious impact on water sources.

Chairman of the Provincial Union of Science and Technology Associations spoke at the workshop.

At the workshop, experts, scientists and delegates discussed and assessed the situation of management, protection and use of water resources for production and daily life in the province; planning and protection of domestic water corridors; protection of water resources associated with environmental protection; the situation of clean water supply for daily life and production; the application of science and technology to improve the efficiency of water resources management and use; challenges in the management, protection and sustainable exploitation of water resources; and solutions to protect and use water resources sustainably in the future.

Leaders of the Department of Agriculture and Environment spoke at the conference.

The presentations at the workshop helped state management agencies propose solutions to protect and sustainably use water resources in the province in the coming time.
