Abstract:
Since the end of 2019, 92.1% of rural households in Hai Phong city had
been able to access and use clean drinking water, which meets national
standards as a result of developing a clean water supply system
consisting of 205 plants with various management models. The authors
applied the desk-study method to collect and review literature research,
select a group of six criteria, and then applied the criteria to assess
the system's sustainability based on Likert's 3-point scale. The
results show that criteria scores ranged from 1.9 points to 2.5 points,
while the total score of the whole system is 12.9 points - reaching an
average sustainability level. The authors propose that in order to
improve the sustainability of the clean water supply system in the rural
areas of Hai Phong city in the future, management agencies and
investors need to apply a solution of propagating rural people to
increase their usage volume of clean water, which will help to increase
the actual operating capacities of the plants, thereby increasing the
revenue and profits of plant investors.
