Dyke Project Completed in Tideland

KCNA

    Haeju, October 14 (KCNA) -- A dyke and standing water project was completed in the Kangryong tideland. The completion of the project made it possible to use water from a reservoir for sufficiently irrigating at least 11,000 hectares of land in Kangryong and Ongjin though it could hardly be used for that purpose in the past. As a result, at least 1,000 hectares of new land has been obtained.
    A ceremony for its completion was held on the spot on Tuesday. Thanks from leader Kim Jong Il were conveyed to the officials and working people who contributed to its completion.
    A reporter and speakers recalled that Kim Jong Il laid down a task to carry out the project in order to satisfactorily solve the problem of water in Kangryong and Ongjin counties and wisely led the drive to fulfil it.
    Officials and builders of the South Hwanghae Provincial Tideland Construction Complex carried out a herculean task to remove more than 437,000 cubic meters of earth in a matter of one year and 8 months, thus building a new edifice in the Songun era, they said.
    Noting that Kim Jong Il named the reservoir "Lake Kangryong", they called on all the officials and working people to repay his love and trust by achieving successes in the agricultural production.
    Present at the ceremony were Vice-Premier of the Cabinet Kwak Pom Gi, Minister of Agriculture Ri Kyong Sik and others.
