Restoring Waterways of Ho Chi Minh City
Channel: Asian Development Bank
Date: 2023-06-05

“Restoring Waterways of Ho Chi Minh City” paints a stark picture of the heavily polluted Tham Luong—Ben Cat Canal, which flows through 7 districts in Viet Nam’s largest city. Before 2000, the water quality of the canal was considered good. But today it is foul-smelling and black, contaminated by wastewater discharged by residential and industrial development alongside the canal and prone to flooding in the rainy season. A project to improve drainage and clean up the waterway, which impacts the lives of over 2 million people living in the catchment, is being prepared by the Asian Development Bank for the Government.
