(KPL) The Lao-Korea Irrigation Development Center, in cooperation with the Department of Irrigation under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, has organized a two-month training programme on irrigation dam stability inspection from September to October 2026.

The programme, held under the Project for Establishing the Management and Inspection System for Irrigation Dam Stability in the Lao PDR, was chaired by Mr. Khamphachanh Vongsana, Director General of the Department of Irrigation, and attended by technical officials from relevant units.

Participants are receiving theoretical and practical training in civil engineering, geology and hydrology, including field inspections at the Nam Chim irrigation dam in Phonhong District, Vientiane Province, and Nam Phouk irrigation dam in Sangthong District, Vientiane Capital. Experts from the Korea Rural Community Corporation are providing technical instruction and sharing practical experience.

Mr. Khamphachanh urged participants to actively acquire new knowledge and practical skills, noting that the department had limited experience in specialized dam stability inspections.

The training is expected to strengthen dam safety management, support sustainable operation of irrigation infrastructure and improve preparedness for risks associated with increasingly unpredictable climate change.
