Bac Lieu approves measures to fix eroded sea dykes
The Chairman of Bac Lieu People’s Committee Duong Thanh Trung discussed protecting sea dykes from erosion with relevant authorities on March 2.
Ganh Hao Dyke is likely to fail at any minute, putting the lives of more than 8,000 households in Ganh Hao town at risk, he warned.
The chairman later approved a proposal by the Southern Institute of Water Resource Research to reinforce the dykes by installing concrete pillars at G1-835 section of Ganh Hao Dyke, rebuilding wall breakwaters and using Tetrapod structures.
According to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, huge waves and powerful winds swept away nearly 90 metres of Ganh Hao Dyke while damaging about 24 metres of Nha Mat Dyke.
