The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a sum of one billion U.S. dollars to Vietnam's project in better access to clean water for over three million families, the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development reported on Wednesday.
The national-level project aims to reduce clean water loss in the urban areas to below 20 percent by 2020, and to raise the Vietnamese urban areas to the same level of other places in Asia in terms of clean water supply capacity.
The project's target is that about 90 percent of Vietnamese families will be supplied with clean water by 2020 and 100 percent by 2025.
