The central province of Quang Nam has scrapped plans for building four hydropower plants, the province People's Committee said. Nguyen Hong Quang, its deputy chairman, said Monday the People's Council decided to remove four small and medium-sized projects -- A Vuong 4 in Tay Giang and Dong Giang districts, Song Bung 3 in Nam Giang District, A Banh in Tay Giang District, and Dak Di 4 in Nam Tra My District – from the list of planned hydropower plants as they have low capacity, severely impact the environment, require large tracts of land, and bring low economic benefit. The fact their investment procedures were tardily completed impacted the planning and construction of other infrastructure and caused disapproval in the community, he said. "The scrapping of these hydropower projects is also to re-evaluate the impacts of small and medium-sized hydropower plants." Two other plants in Nam Giang District, Cha Val and Dak Pring 2, are also being considered for removal, ac
