ROK Funds Water Supply Project in Central Highlands
More than 80,000 residents of Buon Ho town in the Central Highland province of Dak Lak will benefit from a water supply project granted by the Government of the Republic of Korea (RoK).
The RoK's financial assistance will be chanelled through the Korea International Co-operation Agency (KOICA) in Vietnam.
The US$44.5-million project was launched on November 14 to provide a stable water source for the area where 70 percent of local people use unsafe water from wells, rivers or lakes.
"Safe water is essential for human life. I hope that the project will contribute to socio-economic development and minimize the impact of climate change for the local people," said the vice president of KOICA, Han Choong Sik.
