📋 Tender Overview
The Bac Hung Hai system is responsible for providing water for irrigation to more than 116,600 hectares of agricultural land, and at the same time draining water for nearly 199,000 hectares of agricultural, industrial and urban land. For decades, Bac Hung Hai has played a vital role in the regions socio-economic development. Download Overview of the meeting On the afternoon of February 26, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment organized a conference to listen to reports on plans to treat environmental pollution of the Bac Hung Hai irrigation system, and at the same time discuss the overall development orientation towards modernity, multi-goals and sustainability. The conference was co-chaired by Politburo member, Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc and Politburo member, Minister of Agriculture and Environment Tran Duc Thang. Attending were leaders of Hanoi, Hung Yen, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong and related ministries and branches. According to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep, the Bac Hung Hai irrigation system is located in the center of the Red River Delta, covering the entire province of Hung Yen (old) and parts of Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hai Duong (old). The project was started on October 1, 1958, completed on May 1, 1959. It used to be the largest irrigation system in the North, known by the people as the Great Irrigation System of the North - Hung - Hai. The system is responsible for providing water for more than 116,600 hectares of agricultural land, creating sources for aquaculture and peoples livelihood; At the same time, it drains water for nearly 199,000 hectares of agricultural, industrial and urban land. For decades, Bac Hung Hai has played a vital role in the regions socio-economic development. However, in recent years, under the impact of urbanization, industrialization and climate change, the system is facing many serious challenges. First of all is the risk of losing water source security. The flow from the Red River through the Xuan Quan sewer currently only reaches about 20% of the design due to low water levels. Salinity intrusion is increasing, many times the salinity exceeds 3%0 while the allowable water intake threshold is below 1%0. In addition, climate change is becoming more extreme. The flood caused by Storm No. 3 (Yagi) in September 2024 with an average rainfall of over 400 mm has caused the drainage system to be overloaded, more than 120 canal bank locations are at risk of overflowing and bursting; Over 21,000 hectares of agricultural land were flooded for a long time. Population pressure and urbanization also increased sharply. The area currently has about 3.28 million people, the urbanization rate is nearly 32%. According to the plan, the number of urban areas and industrial parks continues to increase, leading to a demand for water drainage that is more than 2.4 times higher than the original design capacity. In particular, water pollution that has not been thoroughly treated for many years has directly affected the water supply and drainage function and the multi-purpose development potential of the project. Based on a comprehensive assessment, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has built a development orientation for Bac Hung Hai into a model model for irrigation today. modern, taking effective exploitation of water resources and multi-purpose infrastructure as the core, protecting the ecological environment as the foundation. The throughout perspective is to synchronously invest in both structural and non-structural solutions; clearly assign responsibilities between central and local levels; diversifying resources, combining state budget with public-private cooperation and socialization. The overall goal is to ensure water source security, control water quality, adapt to climate change, and at the same time form ecological green space, creating a driving force for socio-economic development in the Red River Delta. Specific goals include: Modernizing infrastructure to proactively supply and drain water; Control and improve water quality; Multi-layer exploitation of spatial, infrastructure and historical cultural values; Complete the management organization model; Building a database and smart operating system. 3 key groups of solutions According to the proposal, three main groups of tasks and solutions will be implemented. First, completing infrastructure and modernizing management. In particular, renovating 13 major key projects such as Xuan Quan, Cau Cat, An Tho, Nam Ke Sat; reinforce critical canal sections; Install automatic monitoring systems and apply digital technology in operation. Second, pollution control and water quality management. The focus is on building a wastewater treatment system at 18 points at the beginning of the canal, collecting scattered waste sources, and clearly decentralizing management responsibilities between localities. Third, exploiting multiple spatial levels. The system will be developed in the direction of ecological urban areas along the canal, embellishing key projects, connecting tourism, and creating a land fund of about 2,150 hectares for urban development and services. Total estimated cost is about 38,500 billion VND (not including site clearance and embellishment). Of which, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment plans to allocate about VND 6,000 billion; The rest is undertaken by localities including Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen and Hai Phong according to specific assignments. The synchronous investment is expected to not only fundamentally solve the problem of pollution and overload but also make Bac Hung Hai a model of a modern, multi-functional irrigation system, contributing to ensuring water security and sustainable development of the Red River Delta in the new period.
