‘Improving water quality in Vietnam’ | Nuffic

I am contributing to a more sustainable world by…

“…gaining knowledge about water quality monitoring. Here in Delft, we are going to set up our own monitoring systems and I have chosen the Red River in Vietnam as the object for this module. Industrial and agricultural practices influence water quality, which in turn has a bad effect on these very same industries.”

“My plan is to bring back my knowledge to help improve the water quality back home. I care deeply about this subject ever since my internship in Vietnam. Learning about the poor water quality, and educating children about this, really served as a wake-up call for me. Once I get back to Vietnam, I hope to set up sample collection stations in rivers and water reservoirs.”

My personal dedication to sustainability matters because…

“…I can inspire and encourage others. I totally believe that. It is not about me. It is about bringing about change for Vietnamese kids, because they are the future. I would like to focus on educating this younger generation, raising awareness and contribute to solving this problem in the future.”

“This will require the efforts of all of us, because awareness around this topic in Vietnam is not what it should be. Even my parents, aunties, uncles and friends wanted me to study Business Economics. I’m the only one of my circle of friends to study environmental topics. That does, however, give me the opportunity to educate them about these pressing issues. And I do every chance I get, haha! Now they have gotten to the point where they understand it a bit more. It’s a start, but it shows that one person certainly can make a difference!”
