Inky-black waste water polluting My Khe sea near Da Nang
Description: Dang Quang Vinh, head of the city's environment sub-department, said along the My An-My Khe route, there are nine sewers discharging water into the sea. For the last 10 years, rainwater and waste water have been discharged through the same system. The system includes a large well which collects both rainwater and waste water. In rainy season, when the volume of water is too big, the well and the sewer system get overloaded, and the water flows into the sea. He said the rapid development of tourism facilities, plus the degradation of the treatment system have caused overloading. [Source: VietNamNet]
