Deputy Director Nguyen Ngoc Thuong of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment said that the project has been carried out since 2012 with a total cost of more than VND77 billion. The equipments of the monitoring stations are all imported from Germany.

In May 2013, the department gave 13 stations a trial run and experts from Germany have inspected and repaired them for the last time. On July 3, the department established an inspection group and then the stations will be officially put into operation.

According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thuong, the monitoring stations will regularly transmit data to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to help the department timely discover industrial zones that treat its wastewater not meeting standard levels.
