The contest encourages, motivates and creates conditions for professional and non-professional authors nationwide to create works that honestly and vividly reflect the irrigation industry with its important role in human life, serving agricultural production.

The contest also aims to honor outstanding works and examples in the field of irrigation. Through the entries, stories in the management, protection and development of the irrigation sector will be known to many people in society.

This is also an opportunity for everyone working in irrigation to look back at the formation and development process of the industry to continue writing heroic pages of history and strive to successfully complete the multi-purpose development mission of the industry.

In his sharing, Editor-in-Chief Nguyen Ngoc Thach also expressed his hope that through this contest, there will be new approaches to irrigation, water resources in terms of quantity, quality and distribution and usage when Vietnam is determined to no longer be a country with water surplus. This aims to consistently demonstrate the Central Government's viewpoint on ensuring water security and safety of dams and reservoirs until 2030, with a vision to 2045.

Also at the press conference, Mr. Dang Khac Loi, Deputy Director of the Press Department (Ministry of Information and Communications), said that there were 18,300 news articles about the irrigation sector in 2024, which proves that this field is of interest to the press.

Mr. Dang Khac Loi hopes that within 1 year, there will be thousands of more works related to the field of irrigation. To make that come true, the Deputy Director of the Press Department hopes to have more dissemination to promote this contest.
