It's a story repeated over and over again in #SoutheastAsia. Unconstrained #urbanised intensification (not limited to laundry businesses, residential garbage dumping, metal prodctn. and other #industrial and #consumer services) in and around HCM City continues to serve as a major #pollution conduit to the Sài Gòn-Đồng Nai River. And only 13% of #wastewater is treated before release. #SDG3.9 #SDG6.3 #SDG11.6 #SDG12.4 #SDG12.5 #SDG12.6 #Fail

Sài Gòn-Đồng Nai River polluted due to urbanisation
The river receives a huge volume of wastewater from residential areas, manufacturing plants, industrial parks and export processing zones located along the river. Wastewater along with rainwater runs through the sewer system, causing serious pollution.
