Ha Noi is expected to face water shortage of
up to 100,000 cubic meters a day during this summer, the municipal Department
of Construction has announced. The shortage is caused by lower supply from a
local water plant, the department director Le Van Duc said on June 9th. All
water plants in Ha Noi have a combined capacity of around 925,000 cubic meters
per day, according to the department. One new facility with a capacity of
30,000 cubic meter a day was at Bac Thang Long Water Plant last year. However,
this fails to increase the total capacity of the city, as the water source, the
Da River, currently runs low. With water demand normally increasing by 12
percent during the hot summer, it is estimated that many parts of the city will
experience water shortage, the department admitted. The shortage ranges from
70,000 to nearly 100,000 cubic meters per 24-hour period. The affected areas
include Buoi Street in Ba Dinh District and Thuy Khue Street in Tay Ho
District. Clean water supply is also expected to fall short for residents
living on streets including Hang Buom, Tran Nhat Duat, Hang Tre, Hang Gai, and
Hai Ba Trung in Hoan Kiem District. Several streets in Dong Da District
including De La Thanh, Lang, and Thai Thinh 2 will also be affected. Officials
of the municipal Department of Construction have asked employees of all water
plants citywide to run their facilities at maximum capacity in order to
alleviate the coming problem. The department said it may supply clean water to
affected areas by tank trucks, if necessary.
