Is it Lao Water Safe to drink? How are municipal, household, industrial, and wastewater wastes managed?
Permalink   


Hi Comrades..

I am always thinking about our (Lao) socio-development and effect on our environment, ecology, and health. Mining is on the rise, wastewater is drained into river and main source of water supply. Current data suggested that management to the issue is somewhat considered as "Poor" and our country is good reputation for negative management. Cancer is on the rise. If you have any knowledge about waste management in Laos, please share.

Love for Environment and Your Health.

From what I know, the capital city of Laos, Vientiane, has only one small wastewater treatment, located in the Ginaimo compounds. All of the wastewater discharge directly to the canals and rivers.

I think it is the time to put enforcement to all factories, and all villages in big cities, to build a community waste water treatment plant for their own. There are many techniques that can be used to treat wastewaters, we just need some experts, or people, who can give an initiative idea and put the theory into the real application

Some place, water is not safe to drink in Laos. especially people who live in the countryside don't have clean water to drink. before as long as water is boiled we can drink safely, but now water is not safe even if it is boiled in a high C..

Water is very important for lives..we can't live without water, anyone please save the water.

I know the water or sewage along the canal in Ban Oubmong Thong in Vientiane is so dirty. The sewage doesn't flow or go to anywhere. It is very stinky. The canal is infront of Theb... hotel.

Thank you!!!! Finally someone is thinking along the same line I've been saying all these years.  In order for Laos to move forward and become modernize city like the rest of the world, they will need sewage and water treatment plants.  As of right now, most folks in Laos doesn't think beyond their backyard. They don't care where the sewage water goes to, as long as is out of their property.  If you walk around the city of Vientiane, you will come across those sewage ditches and its smell so bad.

Dek Engineer, are you a civil or electrical engineer?  Almost done with school?

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
