Proposing to build "water warehouse" to accumulate water in order to regulate water sources between seasons. 

After nine years of implementation, the 2013 Law on Water Resources has shown certain flaws and limits that need amendment and supplementation to guarantee compliance with reality, further enhance effectiveness and efficiency, and eliminate obstacles.

Certain provisions of the law on water resources need to be updated and supplemented to meet the requirements of reality, including regulations on bodies of water (rivers, aquifers, etc. ), water resource planning, granting permits for water resources, and water resource protection.

The issue of ensuring national water resource security has been left out of the law, despite the fact that our country's water resources face numerous challenges, including a high reliance on foreign countries; uneven distribution of water in space and time; the effects of climate change; degradation, depletion, and pollution of water sources; conflicts over water use in river basins; and access to safe drinking water.

There are no clear rules or regulations defining the full value of water resources, which results in units, organizations, and companies underestimating product prices and underestimating the efficiency of their usage. water, resulting in undercounting and inadequate collection, resulting in inefficient use of water, water loss and waste, loss of state budget income, and destruction of development incentive, by neglecting to call for social work. Chemicals used in the water business, particularly in irrigation...

As a consequence, it is critical to modify the Water Resources Law in order to address the aforementioned issues and deficiencies.

The new legislation supplements specific rules governing the preservation and development of aquatic resources, including a framework for cooperation among parties involved in the protection and development of aquatic resources. aquaculture resource development There are also specific laws governing the preservation and development of aquatic resources.

It makes recommendations for "water storage" warehouse projects that will store water in order to regulate water sources between seasons; protect and restore vegetation, particularly watershed forests and coastal mangroves, in order to increase water storage capacity, reduce flooding during the rainy season, and increase aquatic resources during the dry season.

In terms of measures for economical and efficient water use, the draft specifies more precisely the measures and sanctions for economical and efficient water use in water exploitation and use activities. Complement existing water usage restrictions to encourage water conservation in times of drought or scarcity.

For organizations and people that exploit and use water resources have the following rights and obligations, the draft amends and augments to clarify the rights and responsibilities of organizations and people involved in the exploitation and use of water resources.

Concerning registration and licensing of water resource exploitation, the draft adds comprehensive rules on the contents of implementation mechanisms and organizations responsible for mobilizing resources to execute public services by organizations, people, and political groups.

In terms of preventing and controlling drought, flooding, and artificial inundation. It includes comprehensive rules governing the maintenance of ponds and reservoirs that are dug and leveled. Complement laws and principles governing the implementation of solutions to collect rainwater and mitigate floods in urban and residential areas.
