Following a request from Sekisui, the lake will be constructed from cross-wave modules, made of polypropylene with high durability and eco-friendly characteristics.
The flood control lake is aimed at minimizing inundation on Vo Van Ngan Street and other nearby locations, the Steering Center of the Urban Flood Control Program said, adding that it would assist local underground water resources and prevent subsidence.
Tran Vinh Tuyen, vice-chairman of the municipal People’s Committee, said that modern technology would be applied in the operation of the regulator to maximize its potential.
If positive results are achieved, similar projects will be implemented in other locations across the city, Tuyen continued.
