Dau Tieng Reservoir drives green tourism and water security in Vietnam’s southeast

The Dau Tieng Reservoir, covering about 270 sq km with a design capacity of 1.58 billion m³, spans Tay Ninh province, Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai province in Vietnam’s southeast.

The reservoir underpins regional water security, providing direct irrigation for nearly 117,000 ha of farmland and supporting additional irrigation of roughly 28,800 ha along the Sai Gon River and 32,317 ha along the Vam Co Dong River. It helps prevent salt‑water intrusion, mitigates flooding, improves downstream water quality and generates electricity with an installed capacity of 20.5 MW.

Beyond its hydraulic functions, Dau Tieng is promoted as the region’s “green lung.” Its extensive water surface, peninsulas and islands create conditions for ecotourism, ecological agriculture and sustainable aquaculture. Activities such as boating, camping, fishing and sunrise viewing attract visitors, while the reservoir’s integration with nearby tourist sites like Ba Den Mountain is expected to extend stays and increase tourism revenue.
