The Department of Construction said this was the capital's biggest waste treatment project to date. The 13 hectare treatment complex has the capacity of 270,000 cubic metres a day and will serve 900,000 residents and improve heavily-polluted rivers including To Lich, Lu and Nhue rivers.

The underground drilling technology will help limit the affected land size, infrastructure and the daily activities of the locals.

Waste in Hanoi is often thrown into sewers and canals and washed into the rivers, leading to severe pollution. The project will deal with waste from seven districts including Ba Dinh, Cau Giay, Thanh Xuan, Dong Da, Hoang Mai, Ha Dong and Thanh Tri.

The total investment is USD800m including ODA from Japan International Co-operation Agency and Hanoi's own funding.

Hanoi's Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung said Yen Xa water treatment project was a vital environmental improvement project, and would clean up the city and go some way towards the city’s sustainable development objectives.
