In a survey of checking the real situation of Pho Loi River and the project of flood drainage in Pho Loi – Moc Han – Phu Khe canal (Phu Vang) carried out recently, Chairman of The Provincial People’s Committee Phan Ngoc Tho required the localities and relative authorities to implement it in the coming time. Accordingly, in addition to the goal of flood drainage, the Provincial Chairman also emphasized the fact of creating a landscape on both sides of the river to form a cycling route connecting Hue – Thuan An.

This requirement was offered by the provincial leader after he witnessed the water surface of Pho Loi River and Moc Han – Phu Khe canal heavily covered by water hyacinth. Many sections of Pho Loi riverbank were eroded, affecting the lives and daily activities of local people, as well as the safety of inland waterways.

The group of reporters and collaborators of Thua Thien Hue Weekly followed the Chairman and local people to record the current situation of Pho Loi River and Moc Han – Phu Khe canal. Our report will help you understand the urgency of carrying out river dredging and building erosion-preventing embankments.
