II. CURRENT SITUATION OF COLLECTION AND
TREATMENT OF RURAL RESIDENTIAL WASTE INHUNG YEN PROVINCE
1. Daily-life waste water
Estimated rural domestic wastewater generated about 80,000 m3 / day andnight. All of this wastewater is not collected, treated in accordance withtechnical standards, discharged directly into rivers, canals, ditches, ponds andlakes causing environmental pollution.
2. Farm waste
The number of pigs is 590 thousand, the number of buffaloes and cows is
39,400 and the poultry is over 8.5 million. Including more than 2,000 farmhouseholds and about 720 animals farm (600 cattle farms, 120 poultry farms)
with a total waste production of about 13,000 to 15,000 m3 / day night.

II. CURRENT SITUATION OF COLLECTION AND
TREATMENT OF RURAL RESIDENTIAL WASTE INHUNG YEN PROVINCE
3. Craft village waste water- Total 54 villages- Recycling villages: 03; Metal mechanical villages: 02; Others: 27- The total amount of waste water from craft villages in the province is6,516m3 to 10,016m3 / day and night. Most of them are not collected andtreated, going directly into rivers, canals, ditches and ponds, causing serious
environmental pollution
4. Medical wastewater
Currently, the province has a total of 24 public health facilities at theprovincial and district level (3,200 m3 / day), 159 communal health facilities(350 m3 / day) and 02 private general hospitals (200 m3 / day). night), 342
private clinics (51.3m3 / day night) with a total wastewater of 3,550 m3 / daynight. at present, there are 09 public health facilities at provincial and districtlevels, 159 communal health facilities and 342 private clinics with a total of
1,089.3m3 / day night of medical waste. , handling to ensure environmental
technical standards.

III.
REQUIREMENTS
FORCOLLECTION,TREATMENT OF RURAL WASTE WATER IN HUNGYEN PROVINCE*The total rural waste water of Hung Yen province accounts for about
70% of the total waste water generated in the whole province;currently discharging directly (wastewater not treated up to standards)
into Bac Hung Hai system and rivers, canals and ditches in theprovince. This is the main reason leading to the pollution of surface
water in the province. Surface water in the province is mainly polluted
due to organic and microbiological parameters exceeding national
technical standards on surface water quality - QCVN 08-MT: 2015 /BTNMT, and tends to increase Pollution, specifically: DO is 1.01-1.86times lower; TSS exceeded 1.04-5.22 times; COD exceeds 1.00-16times; BOD5 exceeds from 1.07 to 4.63 times; NH4 + exceeds 1-14.22times; PO43- surpassed from 1.07 to 18.32 times; NO2- exceeds from1-11.8 times; total grease exceeds 1-8.85 times; coliform exceeds from1-32 times.

IV. EFFORTS TO RESOLVE POLUTION
FROM RURAL RESIDENTIAL WASTE
1. The provincial Party Committee and the provincial People's Committee issued
guiding documents and legal documents on provincial environmental
protection. Including: Provincial environmental protection regulations(production and business facilities are required to have wastewater treatment
facilities reaching column A of QCVN); Local technical regulations on
domestic and industrial wastewater (with higher requirements than Column Aof QCVN).
2. Building a model of collecting and treating rural daily-life waste water in theprovince:- In 2018, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment built awastewater treatment model for a cluster of households (54 households) with acapacity of 25 m3 / day and a household size of 1.2 m3 / day. Application ofanaerobic biotechnology in combination with tree planting filtration yards.
- The project of Johkasou technology wastewater treatment in Japan, fundedby JICA Japan in Vietnam with 100% funding, at preschool in Dinh Du
commune, Van Lam district and Ecopark urban area , V n Giang district.
- Exchange experiences of provinces on rural wastewater collection andtreatment models; Practical visit to domestic wastewater treatment facilities.

IV. EFFORTS TO RESOLVE POLUTION
FROM RURAL RESIDENTIAL WASTE
3. Currently, the project of collecting and treating rural wastewater inHY province in the period of 2020-2025, with a vision to 2030, is thebasis for implementing wastewater treatment tasks and solutions
throughout the province.
* HY province has made every effort to find solutions to collect and treat
waste water from rural people, but the biggest difficulty is that there is nosuitable technology to treat domestic wastewater, animal husbandry andrural handicraft villages. ; difficult technology selection (MONRE built amodel of rural domestic wastewater treatment in Chinh Nghia, Kim Dong
district; practical field visit of domestic wastewater treatment technology
with similar technology in Bach Quang ward , Song Cong city, ThaiNguyen).

V. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES INWASTEWATER COLLECTION, TREATMENT
1. Opportunity
Leaders and authorities of the province are very interested in the work ofenvironmental protection in the province.
- Issue many steering documents, legal documents- Annually, the province is interested in allocating no less than 1% of thebudget to perform environmental protection tasks.

V. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES INWASTEWATER COLLECTION, TREATMENT
2. The challenge- Vietnam has no clear mechanism, policies and sanctions to encourage
private enterprises to invest in wastewater collection and treatment projects inresidential areas, especially for zones and clusters. residential in rural areas.
- Awareness and responsibility of people on environmental protection andsanitation are not high.
- Collection and drainage infrastructure in residential areas has not been
synchronized, rainwater and wastewater are not separated yet, many
residential areas have not been invested with public drainage systems, people
are discharged into ponds and lakes. or penetrating into the ground, making it
difficult for centralized collection and processing.
- It is difficult to find locations, public land funds to build concentrated
domestic wastewater treatment facilities.
- There has been no treatment yet, forcing households to invest in domestic
waste water treatment facilities up to environmental standards, so theinvestment is mainly from the state budget. Moreover, the state budget forenvironmental service activities allocated to collection, transportation andtreatment of domestic waste in recent years has not met the actual needs.

VI. RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTION
1. After Hung Yen Provincial People's Committee approves the Scheme onrural wastewater collection and treatment in the 2020-2025 period, with anorientation toward 2030, it is expected to invest in:- 1,100 domestic wastewater treatment facilities for household groups (about
40-100 households / work).
- 09 wastewater treatment facilities with a capacity of 100-150m3 / day andnight for 09 provincial and district public health facilities.
- 159 communal health facilities and 342 private clinics must be invested toinstall appropriate treatment equipment or collection equipment, periodicallyhire units with transport and handling functions to ensure standards.
environmental engineering.
- About 600 livestock wastewater treatment facilities.
At present, the province does not have suitable wastewater treatment
technology, so it is expected that the Japanese side will support the transfer ofwastewater treatment technology, especially for domestic wastewater toensure investment and operation costs. suitable with the conditions of socioeconomic development of Hung Yen province.

VI. RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTION
2. With the results of implementing Phase I of the project of supporting theinstallation of Jokashou technology at Ecopark and the Preschool of Dinh Ducommune, Van Lam district; Hung Yen Province hopes that Japan JICA willcontinue to support Phase II of the Jokashou technology expansion project totreat domestic wastewater in Hung Yen province (applied in 8 districts andtowns. city of the province with 10 Jokashou tanks with a household size; 10Jokashou tanks with a cluster of households from 5 to 10 households and 10Jokashou tanks for 10 schools; ...).
This will be very convenient in assessing and making a good basis for thedeployment and expansion of Jokashou technology in the treatment ofdomestic wastewater in Hung Yen province in particular and in Vietnam ingeneral. 3. Sharing experiences in promulgating mechanisms and policies onwastewater management of separate residential areas and clusters and tradevillages. Especially the mechanism and policies of the State to encourage
enterprises to invest in projects of collecting and treating trade village waste
water and daily-life waste water in urban centers, residential areas andpopulation clusters in rural areas.
