What are causes of lack of water?
The weakness in industrial wastewater management was the main cause of water pollution in Vietnam. Many industrial facilities used freshwater to carry away waste from their plants into canals, rivers, and lakes. Most of the enterprises did not have any wastewater treatment system and many industrial zones did not have a central wastewater treatment plant. Industrial wastewater was directly discharged into canals, lakes, ponds, and rivers, causing serious pollution of surface water. For example, in 2008, Vedan factory, a sodium glutamate plant, released their untreated industrial wastewater into the Thi Vai River and caused tons of fish and ducks in the river to die. Besides, the growing number of factories along the river and their untreated waste disposal was causing a lot of diseases and intestinal sicknesses among people living in the vicinity of the river. The water pollution was clearly visible, and residents could see a tarred black color and smell a pungent odor from the river. Therefore, one Japanese cargo ship refused to dock at Go Dau port on Thi Vai River because the water could corrode the ship's hulls. In short, uncontrolled disposal of industrial wastewater was a huge source of water pollution, and it produced pollutants that were extremely harmful to people and the environment.
