DongNai (VNA) – The Nhon Trach water supply plant's first phase,which funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), in thesouthern province of Dong Nai has proved effective, contributing to improving local livingconditions and benefiting production activities of enterprises, a local official has said.

Speakingat a working session with representatives from JICA on February 13 to review the efficiency of theproject, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Tran VanVinh said the project became operational from 2014 with a maximum capacity of 100,000 cu.m of water per day.

Itwas constructed at a total investment of over 2 trillion VND (88 million USD),including 7.6 billion JPY (over 66.9 million USD) in official developmentassistance (ODA) from the Japanese Government.

Dong Nai currently has a populationof three million and 31 industrial parks, which creates a huge demand forwater, Vinh said, adding that the locality is forecast to need about 1million cu.m/day of water for daily use of locals and for production and businessactivities by 2020.
