Reporters have observed that the Truc Bach canal (running along Truc Bach street, Truc Bach ward, Ba Dinh district) has been heavily polluted for many years. |
 |
The foul odor emanating day and night is causing immense distress to the residents, and what's even more worrying is that this drainage ditch flows directly into Truc Bach Lake - a famous tourist destination in the capital city. |
 |
Mr. Dung (living at 71 Truc Bach Street) said that for many years, sewage pipes have been discharging directly into the canal and Truc Bach Lake, affecting the lives of residents. The foul smell is constant, day and night, especially on days with changing weather, forcing everyone to keep their doors tightly closed to avoid the odor. |

According to a representative of the Ba Dinh District People's Committee, the entire Ngu Xa peninsula currently lacks a wastewater treatment system. By the first quarter of 2025, the district will implement a wastewater collection project there. All necessary procedures have been completed, and the wastewater will be collected and transported to a treatment plant on Tran Vu - Nguyen Truong To Street, before finally being discharged into the city's wastewater system. |

A section of Truc Bach Lake is covered with a dirty film. |
 |
The area near Thanh Nien Street where boats are located also shows signs of water pollution. |
 |
Next to it, West Lake is also polluted by trash, waste, broken glass, etc. |
 |
Locals can walk in the area 2-3 meters from the lake, and they say that the ground is mostly covered with broken pottery. The lake water is also polluted, and on many days it emits a strong, fishy smell. |
 |
Mr. Tran Van Ba (Group 12, Thuy Khue Ward, Tay Ho District) hopes that the authorities will soon address and improve the water environment of West Lake, helping people improve their quality of life. |

In November 2024, the Hanoi People's Committee agreed to halt the 2018 West Lake dredging project and simultaneously decided to assign the Tay Ho District People's Committee as the investor to propose a replacement dredging project. Accordingly, the Tay Ho District People's Committee proposed that the city provide a total of 4,200 billion VND in funding, of which 2,000 billion VND would be allocated for dredging and improving the environment of West Lake. |

Some areas of Giang Vo Lake (Ba Dinh District) are also polluted, with oil slicks floating on the water's surface. A representative from the Giang Vo Ward People's Committee stated that the environmental issues surrounding the lake are of particular concern to the district and ward. Authorities have contracted with a company to regularly clean the water surface and will require the company to address any remaining polluted or unsightly areas. |
