Abstract
Intensive agriculture along with the increase of chemical fertilizer use have impacted on the water environment. This paper introduces the initial survey of the wastewater quality of agriculture region (vegetables - flowers – fruit plants) at Phu Dien and Tay Tuu Wards (North Tu Liem district, Hanoi). The results showed the pollution of nutrient, organic matters and coliforms. This leads to a high potential of eutrophication in the received surface water. The wastewater quality does not meet the purpose of irrigation and aquaculture in the region.
