3.1.2. Terrain

As a mountainous district of Thai Nguyen province, the terrain is relatively complex and steep. This is a difficulty for the district in developing infrastructure and transportation. It can be divided into 4 types of terrain as follows:

Rocky terrain in the West and Southwest

Steep rocky terrain from 250C to 300C accounts for 70% of the natural area.

Narrow valleys account for 3.5%

The gentle slopes with slopes from 150C to 200C have about 4000ha.

Phu Luong district is located in the transition zone between low mountains and inverted bowls, with an average slope of 200-500m above sea level. Gradually decreasing from Northwest to Southeast with an average slope of 15-20m, the terrain is relatively complex including plains, hills and rocky mountains, the system of rivers, streams, ponds and lakes is quite rich but mainly small in scale and unevenly distributed.

3.1.3. Climate

Phu Luong has diverse climate conditions with typical tropical monsoon climate of Vietnam. During the year, the climate is divided into 2

distinct seasons; hot and humid season from April to October, average temperature about

25-270C; dry and cold winter, the dry period lasts from October to April of the following year, the average temperature is from 10-180C, sometimes cold down to 4-50C. The amount of rainfall in the year is relatively large, mainly concentrated in the months of June, July, August, September. The average humidity in the rainy season is from 80-85%, and in the dry season it is about 12-15%.

3.1.4. Hydrology

Phu Luong has a small but rich network of rivers, streams, ponds and lakes running through 5 communes (Yen Do, Du town, Phan Me, Giang Tien town,

Co Lung) including 4 communes (Phu Do, Vo Tranh, Tuc Tranh, Son Cam) located

Cau River is the most important river originating from Bac Ninh province.

Kan is both the dividing line between Phu Luong and Dong Hy districts and the place that provides abundant water resources for the district.

With the above climate and hydrological conditions, it has greatly affected the production process and socio-economic development in the district. In the rainy season, with abundant water, hot and humid temperatures are favorable for agricultural production, especially rice, corn, potatoes, peanuts, tea and other fruit trees. In the dry season, there is not enough water for irrigation, partly due to the destruction of upstream forests, so the ability to generate water is poor.

3.1.5. Resources

Land resources: According to the results of the additional inspection and correction of the map

1/50,000 scale by FAO/UNECO quantitative method prescribed by the institute

agricultural planning and construction design. The whole district has 4 main soil groups: Alluvial soil, black soil, gray-fertile soil, red soil. The land area of the district is classified into 5 levels as follows:

Water resources: The district has relatively abundant surface water resources, but the distribution is uneven. Floodwater resources are also relatively abundant, the water quality is generally good, ensuring the daily life and production of the people in the district.

Forest resources: Phu Luong is a highland district with a tropical climate, so the vegetation here is rich and diverse, with many precious woods. However, the reserves are still low, and there are currently programs to serve and develop forests sustainably. In 2012, the forest coverage rate was stable at 45%, forest management and protection were well implemented, promoting the effectiveness of the forest economy, paying special attention to afforestation and forest enrichment; in
