Abstract
Vietnam is facing the challenge of
trying to keep pace with increasing environmental pollution
associated with rapid urbanization, especially in the larger
cities. Over the past 20 years, the Government of Vietnam
has made considerable effort to develop urban sanitation
policies, legislations and regulations, and to invest in
urban sanitation including wastewater treatment systems.
This study is one of three country studies conducted in the
emerging countries of Vietnam, the Philippines, and
Indonesia as part of the East Asian urban sanitation review.
It reviews the effectiveness of the wastewater sector in
Vietnam and makes recommendations to the Government on
actions to scale up the sector to improve its performance.
Lessons that emerge from this study can be considered for
the on-going and or the next generation of wastewater systems.
