It is easy to see canals, rivers filled with garbage, black water that stinks. The quality of surface water and groundwater is heavily polluted, putting the city in front of many challenges. At the Saigon River, on the banks, children carelessly play, adults carelessly litter. Under the river, factories discharge waste water carelessly, either solid black or brick red… According to the monitoring results of the General Department of Environment, under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, in 2020, the water quality in the main river sections has exceeded the permissible standard by 1.5 - 3 times. Measurements show that water pollution is mainly organic pollution and coliforms. This shows that polluted water is mainly from human waste and waste from industrial zones. Many people living in the area are upset. Faced with the situation that the water source in the Saigon River and its tributaries is increasingly polluted, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hung - Head of the Resource Management Department, Ho Chi Minh City University could not help but wonder that if there were no If timely measures are taken, in the not too distant future, the Saigon River will no longer meet the necessary standards to provide clean water for the people of Ho Chi Minh City. Discharge sources with different scales bring waste into the aquatic environment into the water source. If we do not take measures to prevent control and good management, I am afraid that in the not too distant future, the water resources of Saigon rivers will no longer be guaranteed to the necessary standards to serve the needs of the people. different water needs. The problem of water pollution in Ho Chi Minh City's rivers has never been a pain. Because it directly affects people's health. Therefore, it is necessary to have specific solutions to protect the city's water source right now! |

Hello Hoang, this is your mentor Chelwoon.
I have one Vietnamese friend. When we talked about her local region, she used to occasionally talk about the deterioration of some of her country??s famous beautiful sites like the Mekong River. We all know that we must not throw waste on any land because waste on the ground ends up flowing into the adjacent river or lake. Though there are still a lot of problems related to water pollution, governments are the one who needs to lead and come up with an effective solution to uproot and solve these problems while we as a citizen of our nation should put a constant effor to reduce the waste we produced in our daily life.
Thank you for the article!
Regards,
Chelwoon

Hello Hoang, this is your mentor Joon.
We could often see streams filled with garbage especially plastic bottles floating on surface of water. I always wonder: 'Why do people pollute water knowing that it would all return to use?" It is the question which I cannot solve up until this point. Even crows could be taught how to throws wastes in adequate place. Why can't humans, the animal supposed to have ability to reason, be taught with such simple steps? Solution to solve the problem is simple: not to pollute water. Yet, it is hard as people do not wish to solve problems seriously at this point.
Well read your article, and let's keep up!
Best,
Joon
