Accordingly, the project constructed by Ngoc A Chau Construction Joint Stock Company will be completed on February 25 to prevent saltwater and store freshwater.

According to Tien Giang Province's authorities, it has officially entered the dry season. The water level upstream is low, so saltwater intrusion on the Tien River in Tien Giang Province this year will come earlier than previous years and intrude deeper into the inland than the average of many years. Especially, right after the 2022 Lunar New Year, saltwater intrusion on the Tien River has begun to increase, combined with high tides encroaching into the inland.

Previously, in the dry season of 2020 and 2021, Tien Giang Province also built a steel dam to prevent saltwater and store freshwater on Nguyen Tan Thanh Canal. The project has shown effectiveness in preventing and controlling drought and saltwater intrusion and contributed to protecting the source of water for production and daily life for people in Tien Giang and Long An provinces.
