en.Wedoany.com Reported - Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City has recently advanced the renovation project for Ong Bau Canal and Kim Huong Canal, with a total investment of nearly VND 3 trillion (approximately USD 114.5 million). These two canals, located in the western part of the city, will undergo renovation works in Binh Hung Hoa Ward and surrounding areas.

The main investment objectives of the project include enhancing drainage capacity to reduce localized flooding in riverside residential areas and nearby roads, especially during the rainy season. The project also aims to address water pollution caused by household waste and untreated sewage being discharged directly into the canals.

According to the plan, approximately 380 meters of Ong Bau Canal and about 890 meters of Kim Huong Canal will be renovated. The city government plans to build embankments, roads, public parks, and sewage collection systems along the canals to eliminate the long-standing practice of discharging wastewater directly into them. The works include dredging, waterway clearing, and restoring the natural ecosystem.

The two canals have suffered from severe pollution and prolonged encroachment for many years, affecting residents' lives and the area's drainage capacity. This canal renovation involves improving the water environment, enhancing drainage capacity, upgrading the urban landscape, and gradually improving the quality of life for local residents.

Ho Chi Minh City is continuing to accelerate its urban renewal and environmental improvement plans in the city center.
