Building the model of management and information sharing of environmental water quality – Dong Nai basin as a case study

Abstract

Recently, due to the impact of natural factors and human activities, the water quality in several basins in Vietnam has been seriously degraded. Pressing issues happening in the entire river basin-scale is polluted by waste from urban and industrial areas, oil spills and waste management. So far the system of policies and legal documents relating to protection of water quality basin is still missing and not synchronized, ensure funding for activities to protect water quality basin not meeting actual requirements. In particularly, there is no information data system to cater for the management of basin water quality which is the core of the problem of environmental protection of river basins. The main reason that make pollution happened at  the entire river basin scale is bad waste management. which partly due to the lack of a good system of technical data and legal documents related to protection of river basin water quality.

In this paper, we present research results from the process of building model for management and information sharing of environmental water quality at Dong Nai river basin.
