Environmental pollution along the coast of Binh Thuan province, caused by the discharge of wastewater into the main river basins from the mainland

Abstract

Socio-economic activities of Binh Thuan province are associated with rivers flowing through districts, towns, and cities in this province. Along with the strong socio-economic development, seven river basins have to receive a large amount of wastewater from industrial parks, livestock farms and urban areas as well, these are the main sources that lead to coastal water pollution. For the purpose of both economic growth and environmental protection in coastal areas, the study used survey methods to collect data on socio-economic activities and waste discharge activities from the mainland. In addition, the study also conducted statistical processing of monitoring data and predictive analytics for forecasting water quality. The results have shown that environmental pollution in the coastal area of Binh Thuan province originates from the discharge of wastewater from the mainland. Furthermore, this study contributed to proposing solutions being able to prevent and protect the coastal environment effectively.
