(HBO) - The construction of the Hoa Binh hydropower plant began in 1979. Hundreds of families surrounding the reservoir, including those of Thai Thinh commune, now Hoa Binh commune of the city of the same name, had to leave their residential land for the work.
More than 40 years later, with practical
support policies, lives of those residents went through various changes.
Caged
fish farming and tourism development are among the orientations for economic
growth of villages around Hoa Binh reservoir in Hoa Binh city.
To stabilise people’s lives, provincial People’s
Committee rolled out a number of support programmes and projects in the
locality. Over the recent past, the committee has approved a project linking the
production with consumption of caged farming fish on Hoa Binh reservoir.
Accordingly, firms will work with locals to
organise a production chain in tandem with consumption of fishery products under
VietGAP standards within three years. As many as 100 cages will be produced, which
is projected to raise over 518 tonnes of fish, raking in more than 20 billion
VND (865,000 USD).
Additionally, Party organisations and
authorities of Hoa Binh commune and Thai Binh ward viewed tourism around the
reservoir a strength in terms of economic development. In many villages,
households make use of natural landscapes comprising of forests, the reservoir
and cultural identity to develop community-based tourism.
Bich Tru village is home to 43 families with
stilt houses. Located on a favourable location with a view of the reservoir and
clean atmosphere, local families are working to turn their houses into an
attractive tourist destination.
As a result of the support policies, including
on-going road building projects, people’s lives witnessed various changes. Of
them, roads leading to Thau and Voi villages (Thai Binh ward) were opened to
traffic years ago, while that linking Bich Tru village with Vay Nua (Da Bac
district) is under construction and expected to complete soon, offering chances
to bolster trade, production, regional linkage and improve people’s lives./.
