The conference’s view

    This project, financially supported by Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), started on September 2007 and ended on June 2010. Its target was to define and prevent increasing problems of water pollution in Tri An lake and Dong Nai downriver. Specifically, it identified the link between land use methods of local communities, introduced better production ways to communities living near the lake and Dong Nai river downstream, gave support to build strategies for clear water and environmental hygiene for all parties involved in the use of water source in the project’s area, enhanced individuals and communities’ ability in effective natural resources management to carry out lasting living activities, and established a information system in socio-economic and ecological benefits due to a decrease in water source pollution. Its findings will be a significant condition to propose methods of blocking water pollution in Tri An lake and Dong Nai downriver, contributing to a sustainable development.
