1. Cooperate with departments and organizations


Water sources have a wide range of implications including factories and businesses, domestic wastewater, livestock, agricultural land, aquaculture, etc. with relevant departments in industry, agriculture, urban development, …


To measure the water quality and discharge of the water body, it is also important to work with the river, lake, and marine management departments. In order to obtain statistical data and projections about the state of the water in the future, it is necessary to cooperate with the planning and statistics department. When collecting information under conditions such as topographic maps, meteorological conditions, hydrology, etc., it is necessary to cooperate with the departments of land management, metrology, and meteorology. Co-operation between local governments, cooperation, and division of roles between state and local government are also very important.


Co-ordination and cooperation need to be established with relevant administrative agencies and with stakeholders including companies, residents, and local community organizations. These collaborations can be carried out in many ways depending on the circumstances of each country, such as political regime, administrative organization, local government system, organizational situation in industry such as trade associations, chambers of commerce and industry, etc., relationships with administrative agencies, and the situation of local communities, etc. In any case, it is important that environmental departments play a central role in coordinated activities, and to agree on all activities so that the necessary offloading measures are effectively implemented on overall face. To facilitate these cooperation activities, raising awareness about the necessity of environmental protection and knowledge of water pollution, raising common awareness in administrative agencies, and awareness of the whole society is also an important activity.


Establishing a relationship of mutual trust, maintaining coordination and cooperation through these coordinated efforts is an indispensable activity to facilitate the implementation of water pollution.


2. Cooperate with locals and regionals people


Since 2008, the river basin coordination has been specified in detail, at the same time clearly differentiating the responsibilities of river basin management coordination among ministries, branches, and localities. The Law on Water Resources 2012 also specifies six groups of activities in river basins that must be coordinated and supervised at the basin level. Then, in 2017, the "General Water Resource Planning of the whole country" was approved, creating the basis for localities to build a plan to link water resource use more efficiently. In addition, a number of linking river basin management models have been established such as River Basin Environmental Protection Committee, River Basin Planning Management Board (Red River - Thai Binh River, Dong Nai River, Mekong River ...), River Basin Management Council (Srepok River and Ca River) and River Basin Environmental Protection Committee (Cau River, Nhue River - Day River and Dong Nai River).



However, in reality, the linkage between localities and regions in the use of water resources still exists many limitations. First of all, the legal document system on decentralization in state management of water resource use is overlapping and overlapping; There is also a lack of clear delineation of specific responsibilities and coordination mechanisms between management units. The quality and effectiveness of activities of river basin organizations in recent years are limited, there is no coordination in river basins among localities. Although the implementation time of the "master plan on water resources of the whole country" is the period 2017-2019, up to now, the master plan has not been implemented uniformly on the national scale. Provincial water resources planning. Notably, the mechanism of cooperation and sharing of water resources among localities and regions is ineffective, there have been some conflicts in the use of water resources among localities due to the risk of water depletion by the distribution. Seasonal unequal water volume, deterioration of water quality due to pollution, along with a distribution of benefits in water resource use for hydropower development and water use for agricultural and biological purposes. unbalanced performance. Typically, conflicts in water resource exploitation and use between upstream and downstream highland areas (Central Highlands with South Central Coast, Northern Midlands and Mountains with Red River Delta provinces, ...).
