Law on Environmental Protection 2013, Decree No. 38/2015/ND-CP, requires: Industrial parks and production, business and service establishments located outside industrial parks with wastewater discharge scale from 1,000 m³/day and night or more, it is mandatory to install a continuous automatic wastewater monitoring system and transmit data directly to the State management agency, the local Department of Natural Resources and Environment, through a "server" monitoring system that connects data for monitoring; contributing to controlling pollution and possible environmental incidents.

However, in reality, in the province, the number of production and business establishments installing automatic monitoring systems is still very modest. And there is no "server" monitoring system to connect the province's data.
