Project tasks:

+ Controlling early flood, mitigating major flood for Huong river system.

+ Supplying water for domestic and industrial uses with Q = 2.0 m³/s

+ Creating stable irrigation source for 34,782 ha of cultivated land in Huong river delta area.

+ Adding fresh water source for downstream of Huong river to push saline intrusion, improve environment in lagoon area, aquaculture with Q = 25.0 m³/s.

+ Generating power with installed capacity N=19.5 MW

Work grade and design standards:
