Vietnam, which is famous for rivers and oceans is surrounded by 3260 kilometers of sea. However, in the recent year, ưater pollution in Vietnam is at an alarming rate and it affects not only to people's lives but also to other creatures.

The reasons lead to this situation are: first, in industrial zones, hundreds of production units ( large and small ) have discharge tons of untreated waste-water directly to the pipes , as a result, organic pollutants, intact metals in the country is penetrated into water source; second, because oil extraction contributes a lots to Vietnam's economy so there are lots of oil scaffolding; some accidents related to oil took place and they affected to the water source dramatically; thirdly, the abuse of fertilizers and plant protection substances in agriculture production also leads to polluted canals, rivers.

This situation leads to extremely harmful consequences to people and other living creatures.

  To people :  according to statistics: each year, there are nearly 9000 people die and nearly 100000 cases of cancer because of using polluted water. In some regions, the rate of people who are stuck with diseases related to water contaminated such as diarrhea with ecoli bacteria, dermatitis, or eye diseases are increasingly common and potentially spread into epidemics.

To economy : water contaminated dramatically affects Vietnam’s economy because it wastes time and money to handle and prevent pollution, techniques which are used to prevent the consequences such as biological filters, chemical filters and sand filters are extremely expensive compared to preventive measures. At the same time, those techniques also depends on the type, location and acreage of pollution.

To other creatures: sea creatures easily consume those contaminated pollution, it leads to the change on biological platform of that creature, other creatures which consume creatures after biological change are also under affect, including Vietnamese. As a result, it affects dramatically to the ecosystem of Vietnam.
