1.1.2.WATER USE The total annual water withdrawal for agriculture, industries and domestic purposes was estimated at 54.3km3 in 1990. The total domestic demand in 1990 was estimated at 2.0km3/yr for both urban and rural consumers. This volume for domestic water use was estimated at 1.3km3 in 1980 and was expected to reach 2.9km3 by 2000. National industrial demand was 1.5km3 in 1980, rising to 5.3km3 in 1990. It was expected to reach 16.0km3 in 2000. In 1980, agriculture used 35.0km3 of water. In 1990, agricultural water withdrawal was estimated at 47.0km3, or 86.5 per cent of the total water demand, of which some 6.5 million m3 was for livestock. The estimated water demand for agricultural purposes for 2000 was 60.5km3. It is estimated that 1.46 per cent of Vietnam’s water demand is met by groundwater. The balance comes from surface water sources such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Groundwater is mainly used for domestic water supply in urban areas. To date, no treatment facilities have been available in plants, factories and sewer systems before wastes are discharged into water bodies. In Hanoi, 300,000m3 of wastewater is discharged into the rivers per day.
1.2.WATER QUALITY, ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH Major environmental problems are: -logging and slash-and-burn agricultural practices, which contribute to deforestation and soil degradation; -water pollution and overfishing, which threaten marine life populations; -groundwater contamination, which limits potable water supply -growing urban industrialization and population migration, which are rapidly degrading the environment in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. There is increasing evidence of pollution of Vietnam’s surface, ground and coastal waters. Although the quality of upstream river waters is generally good, downstream sections of major rivers reveal poor water quality and most of the lakes and canals in urban areas are fast becoming sewage sinks. Groundwater shows pockets of contamination and some salinity intrusion. Rapid urbanization and industrialization in coastal areas, port and marine transport development, expansion in coastal tourism, and an increase in the number of oil spills contribute to the deterioration of coastal water quality.
