[snoop1130]

 

A 20-kilometer embankment to save Can Tho City, the Mekong Delta’s capital, from urban flooding, has yet to be completed since construction started in 2001.

 

Work started on the embankments along both sides of the Can Tho River, a branch of the Hau River, a tributary of the Mekong River in Vietnam, in 2001.

 

Running 10 kilometers on both sides of the river, the embankment has cost VND2.7 trillion ($115.9 billion), including ODA loans from French Development Agency and counterpart capital from Can Tho.
