Diagnostic of Wastewater Management in Binh Duong Province, Vietnam
Context
The province of Binh Duong has over 2.5 million inhabitants, with 77% living in urban areas. The production of wastewater in Binh Duong is rapidly increasing due to its growing urbanization. In 2019, the wastewater treatment capacity in the southern region of Binh Duong could only meet 50% of the wastewater treatment needs.
The drainage network is inadequate in several areas, primarily affecting poor populations. Binh Duong is particularly vulnerable to river and urban flooding risks related to climate change. Therefore, the province urgently needs to improve its wastewater management and drainage infrastructure.
