Brief of HEC foundation history
• In 1955, after the victory of the resistance against the French aggression, peace was returned in the North, restoration and development of water resources in large scale began on April 06th 1955 when the Water Resources Bureau under the Ministry of Transport and Public Works was founded and then on September 09th 1955, the ministry of Water Resources and Architecture was founded. In that historical time, Department of Hydraulic Design was founded according to the Decree No.922 TTg dated June 09th 1956 by Deputy Prime Minister Phan Ke Toai appointing engineer Tran Ngoc Hau to be the director and engineer Dao Trong Kim to be the deputy director of the Department, this event marked a new development period of hydraulic investigation and design work. A series of hydraulic structures of small, medium and large scale were constructed. These included Cam Son reservoir, Nui Coc reservoir, etc; pumping station systems in North Nam Ha, North, South Thai Binh, etc. Achievements in water resources in these years created infrastructure base for stabilizing production of spring-winter crop, changing the production of summer-autumn from limited, unstable crop to the main crop with high yield, owing to irrigation together with agricultural measures, 5-ton fields were created from delta to highland and mountainous area. • Since the foundation of water resources sector under the Ministry of Transport and Public Works (1945-1955), over periods belonging to the Ministry of Water Resources and Power, Ministry of Water Resources - Architecture, Ministry of Water Resources (1958-1995) and now the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, in spite of changes in organization and name, HEC’s labour forces always strive for development of water resources towards the target of modernization of agriculture and rural development, poverty elimination and sustainable development of the country.
