To flatten, embank suitable with constrained height, combine taking advantage of natural terrain, remain river, canal to support drainage and form landscape for urban;

+ For rural resident area and new urban in 5 suburb districts: 04 district are CuChi, HocMon, BinhChanh and NhaBe belong to right shore of river SaiGon – NhaBe, constrained construction height Hxd ≥ 2.00m; solution of planning of height of construction land like as existing city inner area. In CanGio district belong to left shore of river NhaBe – SoaiRap: constrained construction height inside of dyke Hxd ≥ 2.00m, no build new in outside dyke area. In the short time, use system of small embankment and sea dyke to anti flooding. No change environment, raising flow of surface, suitable with planning of irrigation, ensure to accommodate with global climate alterations.

- Planning of rainwater drainage system:

+ Improve, build rainwater drainage system: in the old city inner area, still using system of common drainage for rainwater, waste water; in new constructed area, using system of rainwater drainage, waste drainage separate;

+ For whole existing city inner area, 3 new districts are district 7, district 12, BinhTan district and 4 suburb district are CuChi, HocMon, BinhChanh and NhaBe belong to right shore of river SaiGon – NhaBe: perfect system of rainwater drainage and separate wastewater from system common drain, dredge, enlarge canal combine with local solution to delete flooded point (build temporary dyke, embank road, install unidirectional opening and closing valves, arrange pumping stations…);

+ For 3 new district are district 2, district 9 and ThuDuc district belong to right shore of river SaiGon – NhaBe: arrange system of rainwater drainage separate from network of ditch, drain have enough capacity to drainage under basins with hydrographic condition has constrained, arrange lakes to adjust at the places have high terrain, keep maximum flooded area at the places have low terrain. Attach importance to standard of green plants, grass cover as specified, and reduce the increase of face flow;

+ For CanGio district belong to left shore of river NhaBe – SoaiRap: remain whole system of river, canal and develop more green trees inshore to increase ability of adjustment, don t build big drainage works (just arrange system of drainage for small resident clusters in area);

+ Ensure landmark corridor of canal river protection under provisions on hydrosphere management.

c) Water supplying:

dd) Drainage waste, collecting, treating solid waste and graveyard:

- Drainage waste:

+ Standard of drainage: take according to standard of supplying water proportionate to each object; quantity of water soaking into system of sewer: 10% average quantity of day. Total quantity of waste water is 3.15 – 3.2 million m³/day, in that industrial waste water is 0.35 million m³/day;

+ Using system of common drainage for the existing inner area (combina using wells separating flows and system of sewers in order to separate and collect waster water) and system of private drainage for new urban areas; areas locating in basin of waste drainage include inner areas and new urban areas with high population density (≥ 200 person/ha), the rest areas with low population density (< 200 person/ha), will develop system of collecting and treating waster water according to each small resident clusters. Waster water from living after treating must reach the specified standard; waster water from handicraft manufacture, household intercalation in resident area must reach quality type C under the specified standard before letting out system of sewer to bring into handling together with waste water from living. Industrial waste water don’t bring to mills handling waste water from living, must be handled in particular in each industrial zone and reach quality type A under the specified standard before letting out canals or sewers;

+Partition area for waste drainage: area has high concentrated resident density including inner area existing and developing inner area and new urban area will partition into 12 basins for waste drainage, in that old inner area has 4 basins, developing inner area and suburb (new urban developing area) have 08 basins; waste water in areas apart of the above basins will be collected and handled under each area with small scale. Position of stations handling waste water of area will define in design of partition area planning or detail planning;

+ Headworks: construct, perfect 12 mills of handling waste water by focus for basin TauHu – BenNghe – Doi – Te (raise capacity up 512,000 m³/day in 2025), basin of west SaiGon (capacity 120,000 m³/day), TanHoa – LoGom (capacity 300,000 m³/day), basin of south SaiGon (capacity 170,000 m³/day), basin of east SaiGon (capacity 350,000 m³/day), basin of north SaiGon 1 (capacity 170,000 m³/day), basin of north SaiGon 2 (capacity 130,000 m³/day), basin of NhieuLoc – ThiNghe (capacity 500,000 m³/day), basin of BinhTan (capacity 180,000 m³/day), basin of CauDua canal (capacity 100,000 m³/day) and basin of northwest city (capacity 130,000 m³/day).

- Solid waste:

+ Organize system of collecting reasonably and construct area handling solid waste which applying technology reprocess, reusing, constrain burying;

+ Norm of waste from living including trade, service, health: 1.2 kg/person/day for inner area and 1.0 kg/person/day for suburb; industry: 0.5 ton/ha day. Total of waste garbage: about 15,400 ton/day, in that waste garbage from living occupy over 70%;

+ Headworks: improve upgrade the handling solid waste Complex (living and industry) in PhuocHiep, district CuChi with area 690 ha (raise capacity up 8,000 ton/day), The Complex of handling medical waste - graveyard DaPhuoc in BinhChanh with area 258 ha (for handling waste is 200 ha) and the health waste handling area BinhHungHoa (07 ton/day). Building new area of handling medical waste LinhXuan _ ThuDuc, DaPhuoc – BinhChanh about 20 ton/day; area TanThanh, ThuThua, LongAn area 1,760 ha (in that HoChiMinh city using 1,000 ha).

- Graveyard:

+ Land for graveyard satisfies actual demand with burying rate 60% (2015) and 40% (2025). Encourage using form of cremating in new built graveyards under way of graveyard park;

+ Places anticipated building graveyard: improve upgrade graveyard DaPhuoc with area 67.5 ha, city graveyard in CuChi with area 105 ha, martyrs graveyard in district 9 with area 25 ha. Construct new graveyards LongThanhMy, in district 9 with area about 6 ha, DongThanh graveyard in HocMon district with area 10 ha, NhonDuc graveyard in NhaBe district with area 50 ha and a graveyard in CuChi with area about 100 ha; and use 2 graveyards of region: graveyard park BinhDuong province with area 190 ha servicing area of northeast city and NhonTrach graveyard, DongNai province with area 100 ha, servicing area of southeast city.

e) Evaluate strategic environment:

- Exploit, use reasonable, effectively land and nature resources:

+ Exploit, use land: must execute right purpose, scale and obey strictly criterion, economical - technical norm specified in specialized planning suitable with general planning, plan of using land in each period on area city, districts;

To prohibit strictly constructing the types of harmful industries such as textile, dye, paper, tanning; heavy industry such as iron, steel, automobile - motorcycle production industry ,… in freshwater area of two rivers. Along to shore of river from sea return up, industrial zones, factories, enterprises must have system of waste water handling and must ensure construction gap to control waste water and easy treating when having breakdown.

- To exploit and use water source:

+ Surface water source: exploit surface water source from rivers DongNai, SaiGon river and water reservoirs DauTieng, TriAn, PhuocHoa rightly as planning of water source balance and obey technical process. Prohibit strictly building industrial factories which discharge poisonous waste water in region of water source protection;

+ Underground water source: evaluate reserves to plan exploiting and using reasonably, rightly with technical process … apportion reasonably, restrain using underground water source, don’t exploit concentratedly in each zone, with excessive continuous time, lead to be exhausted, lowered level of underground water, to decline reserves and bring about other impacts not control, decline environment quality.

- To control activity of agricultural manufacture, aquaculture:

+ To plan and strengthen system of centers, vegetable protection stations ensuring ability of controlling input and output in activity in relation to using fertilizer and plant protection chemical;

+ To establish system of protection fisheries, seafood beside veterinary system, protection system of cattle, poultry, waterfowl ensuring ability of water quality controlling input, output, types of vaccines and medicines.
