Nha Trinh Dam is an ancient irrigation project located on Dinh River (also known as Cai River, Ninh Thuan province). |
 |
The dam is about 385m long, 5m high and 3m wide, built of stone and rammed earth. It can be said that the designers and builders of Nha Trinh dam had a vision across millennia, and until now the dam still has a very important meaning for an arid land like Ninh Thuan. |
 |
Built in the 12th century, over hundreds of years, the dam is not only famous for its natural landscape beauty, but also for its interesting stories.
|
 |
According to recorded documents, in 1889, the French did not believe that the Nha Trinh dam was just stacked rocks, so they moved the dam about 50m upstream. But after just one year, the seemingly solid concrete dam was left with only its skeleton after a flood season. After that, the French repaired the canal system, laid concrete, and reinforced it many times, but the foundation of the dam from the 12th century to the present is still intact. |
 |
Today, after hundreds of years, Nha Trinh dam continues to play an important role in providing irrigation water for agriculture, contributing to ensuring water resources for agricultural production in Ninh Thuan province. |
 |
Over the centuries, Nha Trinh Dam is a living testament to the combination of nature and human ingenuity, demonstrating the valuable experience in irrigation that the ancients left for today. |
