The project collects and treats wastewater from To Lich River, Lu River, Nhue River and several new urban areas in Hanoi, which is expected to revive the aforementioned rivers.

The Party official emphasised the importance of environmental issues, noting that Hanoi should raise the rate of treated domestic and industrial wastewater to 50-55% within the next five years.
