Abstract
In July 1996 a water quality monitoring project took place in Vietnam that involved technical training and workshop presentations. The project was funded under the Federal EPA's Environmental Cooperation with Asia Program (ECAP). It was conducted in cooperation between the University of Wollongong's Environment Research Institute (ERI), Sydney Water's 'Streamwatch' group and the National Environment Agency of Vietnam (NEA). The key contact person in the NEA has been Dr. (Mrs.) Nguyen Hoang Yen, Head SOE & Monitoring Division, Hanoi.
Subsequent to this and as part of the overall project, staff from the NEA visited the ERI at the University of Wollongong in August, 1996. This group included Dr Yen plus the following people:-
- Dr. Nguyen Chu Hoi, Director, The Institute of Oceanography, Hai Phong
- Dr. Lam Minh Triet, Director, Center for Environmental Technology and Management (CEFINEA), Ho Chi Minh University of Technology
- Eng. Nguyen Anh Hieu, The SoE & Monitoring Division, NEA, Hanoi.
During this visit, the NEA group met with staff from across the University and with both government and business organisations with regard to environmental management and monitoring.
