Japan to help Hanoi improve underground water quality
Japan will help Hanoi to improve its water quality through a project on non-chemical treatment for underground water.
The project is an initial effort in improving water quality by using Kemiresu, a fast processing, low cost, and environmentally friendly system to treat impurities in underground water which does not require the presence of chemical substances.
The Japanese-funded project has a total investment of 100 million Yen (US$851,000) with an implementation duration of one and a half year starting in 2016.

According to the Vietnam Water Supply and Sewerage Association (VWSA), a small-sized Kemiresu system will be initially applied at water-filter plants in Hanoi and southern Ho Chi Minh city.
The project will be trialed at the Hawaco’s Tuong Mai plant and is expected to provide locals with safe drinkable tap-water.
