The battle to protect water

          My story about little coots and the West Lake have not yet finished. You may have known about the fate of coots in my previous post: be slaughtered and had to leave its familiar destination. But what about the lake?

          West lake used to be named as a paradise of fish, and now it become the hell of fish. Because of thirty illegal dumping water pipe, all of the fish in West lake had died. The lake glisten but not because of the pure water but the dead fish. What a horrible scene! Many people around here even have to leave due to the stinky smell.

          That horror story is only a trivial example of water pollution in Vietnam. Not only the lake, but also the river and even the sea have been terribly polluted. Recently, the illegal dumping of a steel factory have destroyed the marine life in the ocean zone of four provinces in Vietnam. Or the polluted water of a river have caused the population of a whole village suffering from cancer.

          Can all of that story help you to fully understand about the deliberated water pollution in Vietnam? Every Vietnamese now is afraid of the water they drink every day. They are ready to hold hand together to fight for their lives. But it is not easy enough because it all related to political affair. Can Vietnamese can be successful in their way?
