        Socio-economic infrastructure system.

  Transport network:

     Total length of the national roadways is 180 kilometers with 64 kilometers of national highway No.1A, 68 kilometers of national highway No.27 and 48 kilometers of national highway No. 27B. Provincial roadways include three routes of 702, 703, 704 that meet class IV standard, are covered with tar with total length of 53,9 kilometers and link provincial center with districts in the province. District and inter-communal road network has the total length of nearly 300 kilometers, of which most of the roads have been invested to be upgraded and convenient for all-year-around transport.

     The goal for the next 10 years is to: upgrade and tar seal town routes, inter-communal routes and those leading to goods production areas, industrial complexes, isolated and remote areas as well as the ones for security and defense; increse the present transport density from 0.24km/km2 to 0.8-1km/km2 by 2010; effectively carry out the program for rural and mountainous transportation development. By 2010, 100% of communes will have car roads covered with tar or tar-concrete to commune centers; 100% of inter-communal roads, 50% of from-commune-to-village roads and 50% of inter-village roads will be expanded, widened and meet standards./.

           Irrigation:

     There are, in the whole province, three major irrigation systems namely Nha trinh, Lam Cam and Krongpa that can provide water for 15,000ha. Tan Giang lake can provide water for 3,000ha, and medium and small-scale irrigation system about 3,000ha. At present, total agricultureland area provided with water is about 21,000 ha.

    As
Ninh Thuan is located in a dry region with limited water reverse capacity, its irrigation activities have been given top priority. By 2005, investment will be put into the construction of major irrigation works of Sat river in Bac Ai district, Song Trau lake in Ninh Hai district, Lanh Ra lake in Ninh Phuoc district, and several samll and medium reservoirs, and this has increased to some 30 thousand ha. Preparation will be made for the investment into building other irrigation works of Song Cai reservoirs, Tra Co, Phuoc Tuy, Phuoc Nhon, Bau Ngu lake, Ta Ranh, Bieu river. By 2010, the total irrigation area will be expanded to 35 thousand ha./.

          Power supply

      100% of communes, quartes and towns with 87% of households in the province have been provided with electricity from the national electricity grid. By 2005, the province will strive for increasing the percentage of household provided with electricity to 97% and the average annual production electricity yeild to 12.5% to meet the electricity requirements for living, production and industrial development purposes in the province./.
