This basin drains water mainly to Nhue and Day rivers. Particularly for Hanoi city, Set and Kim Nguu river basins drain water to Red river in the flood season through Yen So pump station; • Cau river basin, North of Duong river, covering the provinces of Bac Ninh and Vinh Phuc, the districts of Gia Lam, Dong Anh and Soc Son of Hanoi, flowing (Q Cau river; • Red river left basin in southern Duong river (covering the districts of Thuan Thanh, Luong Tai, Gia Binh of) Hac Ninh province, part of Hai Duong province and Hung Yen province, flowing to Red river; • Thai Binh river downstream basin in Hai Duong province. Concretely, for Hai Duong city, rain water drains to Sat and Thai Binh nvers; • Hai Phong city basin draining water to Lach Tray and Cam rivers; • Ha Long city basin draining water to the sea. + Major systems and works: • Nhue river system: Draining water for Hanoi city and Ha Nam province in 3 directions to Red river, Day river and Chau river. Major works: Yen So pump station draining water to Red river and three big pump stations drammg water to Day river (Ngoai Do 2, Que 2 and Lac Trang 2 pump stations); • Northern Duong river drain~ system; Draining water for BacNinh andpart ofHanoi, Vinh Phuc, Receiving drained water of this system areCau, Ca La, Ngu Huyen Khe, Duong and Red rivers. For newly developed DongAnh urban center, water will be drained to Red river through Vinh Thanh pump station; • Bac Hung Hai drainage system.

Waste water drainage planning + Waste water volume forecast The waste water volume of centrally run cities, provincial towns, industrial parks in the region will approximate 2,030,000 mJfday, including: • Daily-life waste water: Around 1,230,000 m3/day; • Industrial waste water: Around 800,000 m3/day. + Waste water drainage systems Within the regional study scope, the inter urban waste water drainage and treatment © VIETNAM LAW & LEGAL FORUM OFFICIAL GAZETTE Issue noo 09·1 O/September 2008 (COng BaD nos 557-.WJIOctobP.r6, 2008) planning will only apply to adjacent urban centers such :'IS Hanoi- Ha Dong, Hai Phone Do Son. The urban water drainage and waste water treatment systems will be mainly built independently in each urban center in conformity with the regional urban development. The regional connection of water drainage and waste water treatment systems of urban ccuuas and industrial p<ulu> will be managed according to river basins, comprising 6 main ones: Nhue river basin, Cau river basin, Red river left basin, Thai Binh river basin, Lech Tray river basin. and Cam river and Quang Ninh sea area. + Waste water treatment technologies Depending on specific conditions of each urban center, modern or simple waste water treatment technologies will be applied in conformity with therequirements of receptacle sources and local natural and socio-economic conditions. cl Central key economic region water drainage planning Rain water drainage planning + Drainage basins and directions: For urban centers in the central key economic region: Water will be drained to principal rivers, with 6 main river basins: • For Da Nang city, water will be drained to Han and Cu De rivers; • For Hue city, water will be. drained to Huang and Bo rivers; • For Tam Ky city, water will be drained tu Tam Ky and Truong Giang rivers; • For Quang Ngai city, water will be drained to Ve and Tra Khuc rivers; • For Quy Nhon city, water will be drained to Con and Ha Thanh rivers. +Major systems and works Provincial towns in thecentral key economic region lie in downstream areas or at river sections affected by sea tide. With the existing foundation elevation, the water drainage in urban centers uurtng the dry season sees no problem. But in the flood season, a number of urban centers become flooded upon the occurrence of Floods at .5% or even 10% frequency; hence, multi-purpose headwater facilities will be built for water supply to duwusuearu areas, eleculctty geuerarton and reduction of floods in river basins, including: • On the 0 Lau river system: To build 0 Lau reservoir of 40 x lOb rrr' capacity; • Onthe Huang river system: To build flood cutting reservoirs ofTa Trach, Binh Dien and Co Bi; • Onthe Bu Lu river system: To build Thuy ven reservoir in Thny Cam with a 26 x 106 m3 capacity, supplying water for Chan May - Lang Co economic zone and cutting off floods for Thua T.1111 river: • On the Vu Gia - Thu Bon river system: To build reservoirs of Bung river 2, Bung river 4, A Vuung I,AVuung 4, Cou rlver 2, Giang river, © VIETNAM LAW & LEGAL FORUM Issue nos og..1 OlSeptember 2008 retina F!ao nn~ f'i.'iUjFll!()dmwF;, ')(r!R) OFFICIAL GAZETTE Dakmi 1, Dakmi 4, Tranh river 1, Tranh river 2 and Khang river with a total useful capacity of 2,857 X 106 m} and an anti-flood capacity of 1,187, 10' m': • On Tra Khuc river: To build Nuoc Trong reservoir to supply water for Dung Quat economic zone; • On Con river: To buildDinh Binhreservoir, stage I, with a useful capacity of 200 x 106m3 and an anti-flood capacity of 112 x 106 m", supplying water for downstream areas and Quy Nhon city.
