820 districts covering 394,159 hectares have been completely readjusted (See Table 5-7).

2. Irrigation Improvements for Earlier Re-divided Agricultural Zones
To cope with the operating needs of modern local agriculture, the MOI expanded the road length
for farmlands that were adjusted in 1971 by up to four meters, provided there were parallel water
supply and discharge channels with concrete U ditches, and graded and paved roads with additional
pebbles. From 1988 to 2022, 924 districts covering an area of 95,503 hectares were completed (See
Table 5-8).
