The O’Kra Nhak sub-project focuses on the improvement of main embankment, rehabilitation and modernization of the existing main canal, secondary canal and tertiary canal and construction of additional control structures along the canal. The works will be carried out within the existing right of way (RoW) of the MC, SC and TC existing canal. According to the consultation meeting on 11 October 2016 with the three commune leaders and village chiefs at Sandan District office they stated that even though the Provincial Cadastral Department has not yet done the land registration to define the canal land reservation of (MC,SC,TC) but they could identify that the existing canal right of way (RoW) was large enough for rehabilitation and modernization.
