  Waste water treatment system at Bao Minh Industrial Zone in Nam Dinh Province.
  According to the newspaper Business Forum, the project will conduct surveys, assessments and classify waste resources around the country, as well as their environmental impacts. Based on the study, authorised agencies will develop mechanisms and policies to better control waste resources.
  The development of the database on waste resources will include the building of an overall structure of waste resources. Of that, a database on waste resources will be located at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and linked to ministries, sectors and localities; and a database on waste resources under the management of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense.
  Former director of the General Statistics Office of Viet Nam's Department of Social and Environmental Statistics, Nguyen Phong, said that it was necessary to unify the national database on waste resources.
  He also added that software systems that could link to monitoring stations at emission sites would be more effective. – VNS
