The Office of the Hanoi People's Committee has just issued the conclusion and direction of the Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee, Tran Sy Thanh, at the meeting to listen to the report on the implementation of the investment project to urgently supplement water from the Red River to the To Lich River.

Regarding the plan to add water from the Red River to the To Lich River, the Chairman of Hanoi agreed on the plan to build a water pipeline from the culvert through the dike to Vo Chi Cong Street, bringing water to the head of the To Lich River at the culvert through Hoang Quoc Viet Street.

The location of the water pumping station on the Red River must ensure safety during floods and the quality of the water source supplied to the To Lich River, the Chairman of Hanoi noted.

The Department of Construction was assigned to coordinate with the Office of the Hanoi People's Committee to discuss with the Government Office to clarify related issues to report to the Prime Minister for approval to deploy investment in the construction of an emergency project to supplement water from the Red River to the To Lich River.

Previously, the Department of Construction reported to the city a plan to build a pumping station with a capacity of 3-5 m3/s at the Red River bank, Phu Thuong ward, Tay Ho district. Water from the pumping station will be piped along the internal road in the river bank area, through the Red River dike (under Nhat Tan bridge, An Duong Vuong street).

At the 45m long section through the dike, the city will dig and open the dike, build box culverts and install pipes inside the box culverts. The dike crossing location will have two pipes as backup to increase the pumping station capacity to 5 m3/s.

After passing through the dike, the pipeline passes through the traffic island, runs along the sidewalk of Vo Chi Cong Street, and brings water to the beginning of To Lich River at the Hoang Quoc Viet intersection. From the dike to the beginning of To Lich River is about 5.3km long.

On the pipeline parallel to Vo Chi Cong, there is a water division waiting to lead to lane 685 Lac Long Quan (Lotte Mall Tay Ho area) and lane 612 Lac Long Quan to Dam Bay lake for treatment before entering West Lake.

In the conclusion, the Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee also assigned the Department of Construction to preside over and coordinate with relevant units to urgently study the construction of a dam (T-shaped dam; at the To Lich River junction near Long Quang Pagoda, Thanh Tri District) in sync with the project to supplement water from the Red River to the To Lich River.

The construction of this dam aims to meet the goals of retaining water to supplement the To Lich River in the dry season and preventing water from flowing to support the drainage of the Nhue River in the rainy and stormy season.
