Launching for the survey on groundwater licenses/licensed production wells in Bac Lieu

In order to strengthen the management of licenses for exploitation and use of groundwater and groundwater production wells in the province, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE) of Bac Lieu province has developed a plan to investigate information on licenses and groundwater production wells subject to licensing. The investigation will be directly carried out by officials from the sub-Department of Water Resources, Climate Change & Sea, the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Monitoring, the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Information Technology, with the coordinated participation of district-level sub-Department of Natural Resources and Environment officials. The IGPVN project (now known as the Climate Resilient Management of Groundwater and Geohazards Project (CRMGG)) provides the necessary support so that DONRE can complete the survey program expectedly within 3 months.
