Japanese pump maker helps Vietnam in flood control
(VOV) -Ebara, Japan’s leading water pump maker, has inaugurated its first Vietnam-based plant with the intention of helping the country in flood prevention and control.
Ebara hosted an early December seminar in Hanoi that focused on improving pump systems used in irrigation and flood control and promoting greater degrees of experience exchange, human resource training, and technology transfer.
Leading experts discussed the issues commonly arising when operating pumping stations.
Ebara established its Hatakeyama Memorial Fund (EHMF) in 1989 as a means of deepening mutual understanding and cultivating amicable international relationships, particularly in Southeast Asia. Its cooperative initiatives, many of which are centred on technology, have included hosting 232 Southeast Asian seminars for more than 10,000 participants.
Over the 2013 fiscal year, the EHMF organised seven seminars in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, and other localities deemed especially vulnerable to natural disasters caused by climate change.
