Planning for water resources from 2021 to 2030 with a vision to 2050
Abstract
In accordance with the Prime Minister's Decision 995/QD-TTg dated August 9th, 2018, which assigned Ministries to develop national sector plans for the period 2021 to 2030 with a vision to 2050, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) has taken significant measures to direct the formulation of national sector plans in the field of natural resources and environment. As a result, on December 27th, 2022, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1622/QD-TTg approving the Master Plan on Water Resources for the period 2021 to 2030 with a vision to 2050. This plan is the fifth out of thirty-eight national sector plans approved by the Prime Minister. The Master Plan serves as a foundation and guideline for MONRE, related Ministries, departments, and localities to continue developing specialized technical master plans for water exploitation, use, and protection in an economical, efficient, and sustainable manner. Planning plays a crucial role in guiding, regulating, and allocating water resources to meet the objectives of the ten-year socio-economic development strategy (2021 to 2030).
