Hội đập lớn và phát triển nguồn nước Việt Nam - Vietnam National Commission on Large Dam and Water resources development

Lời chào mừng

WELCOME MESSAGE

Welcome all of you to access the Website of the Vietnam National Committee On Large Dams and Water Resources Development (VNCOLD&WRD).

Dams and reservoirs are very important infrastructure to regulate water resources for the development of people’s livelihood, economic, natural disaster mitigation and environmental improvement. Planning, construction and management of dams are strictly required to use appropriate techniques, aiming at attaining high effectiveness and absolutely safety, specially to the large dams.

VNCOLD, member of ICOLD (International Commission On Large Dams) and VFCEA (Vietnam Federation of Civil Engineering Associations), is a professional society involving organizations and anyone, who have been working and interested in all the fields related to the development of large dams (study, planning, investment, investigation, design, construction, equipment, material, control, management, business,…)

This website consists of information on VNCOLD’s activities, development of large dams in Vietnam and all over the world. It is considered as a wide forum to introduce scientific & technological achievements, and exchange professional experiences on water resources, hydropower, irrigation & water supply, flood mitigation and all related subjects. It’s a pleasure to receive your comments, news, discussions, studies,… and cooperation.

Finally, the thanks are due to the Hanoi Water Resources University (Information Technology Center) and all collaborators because of their technical supports to this website.

Chairman of VNCOLD&WRD

Prof. Dr(sr). Pham Hong Giang
