The Bay Mau Lake inside the Thong Nhat Park in Hanoi is the second largest lake in\r
Hanoi. The lake serves not just as an equitable tank for the rainwater, as a reservoir for\r
intake of wastewater, as a wastewater treatment pond, but also as a recreation area for\r
Hanoi people and visitors from other provinces. The Bay Mau Lake is polluted at\r
alarming level.\r
The author has carried out a study on the water pollution level and the sources of\r
pollution. The study revealed that the lake polluted mainly by domestic wastewater\r
discharging from living quarters with total about 800,000 inhabitants. The author\r
demonstrated different measures to reduce the pollution level in the lake such as raising\r
environmental awareness for the public, a simple, reasonable cheap measure, which can\r
be both realistic and effective. Besides, the author proposed to use bio-treatment of the\r
water discharging into the Bay Mau Lake, building of a pumping station, fish farming...\r
The clay-paper fibre mixture is used for the biological treatment of wastewater at the\r
inlets. The advantage of this method is that it is a simple, cheap and realistic solution.\r
Treatment of the water using clay and paper fibre mixture for filtration and plantation of\r
aquatic plants as lotus and water lily together will provide oxygen for the aquatic\r
environment of the lake. As results of the study, it is recommended to use both methods,\r
namely raising environmental awareness for the public and biotreatement method using\r
clay and paper fibre, to improve water quality of the lake.
