The Danish-funded project focuses on conducting a broad integrated assessment of the water pollution, identifying the pollution contributions from agriculture, aquaculture, forestry, domestic waste, industrial production and transportation.

The assessment will support local partners to find initiatives to reduce the main sources of pollution in each of the sectors, according to the statement released by WWF Vietnam Program over the weekend.

The project also includes investigations into options for sustainable finance and reward mechanisms to ensure the upstream forest and farming communities receive adequate benefits in return for the ecological services they provide for down-stream dependants.

Further assessment will be conducted toward the potential for other livelihood opportunities, particularly in ecotourism.

Specialized committee established to protect Dong Nai River

The committee will oversee the implementation of the scheme to protect the environment in the Dong Nai River valley from now until 2020.

This agency will coordinate and solve all matters related to the environment of the Dong Nai River and river valley, as well as consider and approve annual and five-year projects and action programs under the Dong Nai River Scheme.

The Committee’s chairmanship belongs to the Chairman of the HCM City People’s Committee with a three-year term. The next two-year terms will be assumed by the Chairperson of one of the 12 provinces and cities belonging to the Dong Nai River system.

The Dong Nai river system plays an extremely important role to the development of 12 provinces and cities, including HCM City, Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Long An, Tay Ninh, Lam Dong, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan.

Approximately 60 industrial and export processing zones are located on the Dong Nai river basin, but just one-third of them have waste water treatment systems. The remaining discharge waste water goes into the river, causing serious pollution to this river.

The pollution of Dong Nai River is now a common problem of the 12 provinces and cities and it requires an agency to address the problem for the whole region. The Dong Nai River Committee is established to meet this
