Project Description
The Pollution Sources Survey for the Cau and Day/Nhue River Basins was initiated in response to water resources management studies that revealed pollution levels far exceeding national standards. The pollution, stemming from various sources, was found to be severely affecting local economies and community health. The project aimed to generate a detailed and systematic understanding of the pollution landscape to support urgent and strategic environmental management in these two critical river basins.
Objectives, Activities and Results
The primary objective was to develop a comprehensive inventory of pollution sources and assess their public health and environmental impacts. This included mapping pollution dispersal patterns and identifying the most critical sources for immediate intervention. A detailed water quality and effluent sources inventory was compiled for both the Cau and Day/Nhue basins. The findings informed policy and management strategies, enabling targeted responses to the most urgent pollution problems while laying the groundwork for long-term pollution control initiatives.
