- Advanced and water-saving techniques and technologies for irrigation, efficiency in agriculture, industrial crops and fruit trees;

- Improving equipment for water supply and drainage (pumps, valves, equipment, ...), water treatment and environmental protection; solutions to creating sources and supplying water for daily life and production in mountainous, remote, border and island areas.

(2) Serving the construction of irrigation works

- Application of technical advances, technological development: survey, design, materials, equipment, construction of irrigation works (tidal gate, large aperture river barrier, large valve gate, dam project. large height, large pump stations, ...);

- Solutions to ensure safety of lakes, dams, dikes and irrigation works; automation in construction and operation of key systems of irrigation works, systems of irrigation works against flooding in big cities.

(3) Natural disaster prevention and mitigation and climate change adaptation

- Solutions to planning, zoning and assessing natural disaster risks as a basis for proactive prevention and avoidance;

- Forecasts and measures to limit damage caused by tsunamis, drought, floods, landslides, flash floods, storm surges for coastal areas; dam failure; degradation of major rivers, landslide, erosion of river banks, estuaries and coastlines due to construction and exploitation of upstream reservoirs, climate change and prevention measures;

- Causes and solutions (including flood storage space, flood drainage) to prevent flooding in big cities and coastal cities in the context of climate change and sea level rise;

- Forecast and warn potential risks and risks (subsidence phenomenon of the Mekong Delta, change of river bed and degradation of water resources in Red River ...).

(4) Serve the development of mechanisms, policies and models, standards, regulations and norms in investment, management and exploitation of irrigation works.

- Models and policies to improve efficiency of investment management, upgrade and modernize, manage and exploit irrigation works, dykes, sustainably prevent floods and storms and clean rural water;

- Mechanism and policies to support and promote the development of public-private partnership (PPP) in construction investment, management and exploitation of irrigation works and rural clean water; mobilize resources for sustainable irrigation system development;

- Appropriate credit and macro-finance institutions promote research and application of technologies and technology transfer for production; ensure the water environment in the irrigation system;

- Irrigation management mechanisms and models with the participation of people (PIM) suitable for the new countryside;

- Constructing and completing standards, norms and norms in research, construction and exploitation of irrigation works (works: preventing large rivers, reservoirs, preventing natural disasters, applying new technologies. ..).

(5) Serving agriculture - forestry - fishery - salt production and rural areas

- Agriculture
