He said the ministry together with the MES attended the 20th Conference of ASEAN Engineering Society and made reports on the progress of irrigation sector of Myanmar.

With the noble aim, "Engineering in the alleviation of poverty in Asean", the 20th Conference was held in September this year in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Out of over 100 papers at the conference, the MES highlighted the role of water to produce more foodstuff in alleviation poverty. So, the award was presented.
On behalf of the State and the ministry, he expressed thanks to the MES and the Irrigation Department who attended the conference.
It has been already known that Myanmar, one of ASEAN nations, utilizing water resource, land resource and technical know-how of the people in the country, can provide the region as well as world nations with necessary foodstuff. Based on development of rural areas on which agriculture, livestock breeding and fishery and forestry sectors depend, utilization of water resource has been emphasized in making the country developed.
Head of State Senior General Than Shwe himself has given guidance on sufficiency of drinking water and greening tasks.
In the country, out of 870 million acre feet flowing in the rivers and creeks, only 30 million acre feet were used. It can be found that efforts have been made to be able to utilize natural resources because out of 45 million acre of land, 25 million acre were put under crops, he added.
Regarding the irrigation sector, it has supplied the production of the country in every era. From the time of Myanmar kings to the time of the ruling government, altogether 1.3 million acre of land were irrigated for development of crop production. During the period from 1988 to date, a total of 138 dam projects have been implemented to irrigate more 2 million acre of land. So, double cropping can be cultivated and capacity of crop production increased to 157 per cent. The socio-economic life of the people was also promoted.
He confirmed that these tasks were revealed and the paper was submitted to the conference, and the award was presented due to the proof that good results were achieved by making efforts for availability of water in the country with technical know-how of Myanmar engineers, cash assistance of the State and patriotism. In other words, the prize was presented due to the efforts of the MES to glorify Myanmar among ASEAN member nations, the innovations and implementations of the technicians from the Irrigation Department and the noble efforts.
In conclusion, he said in building the country to be a developed one, technical know-how, knowledge and right thoughts and efforts reflect the good deeds already done.
