After the damaging floods that hit the Mekong Delta in 2000, the Government introduced a program for sustainable improvements of the communities. The program was based on the idea of ‘living with floods’ to protect poor people’s lives, properties and crops. The Government built flood control structures like dams, dykes, water reservoirs and canals. In cooperation with Care International the Government also constructed residential clusters. These regions are protected by a dyke and the ground level is backfilled up to 60 centimeter above the highest flood line.
