Vietnam trip produces water quality collaboration

Hoa Nguyen, Laura Johnson and Rem Confesor at the VACI conference.

Water supply, quality and sustainability issues play into what many believe is an unprecedented global water crisis. The National Center for Water Quality Research, which has been monitoring water quality for nearly 50 years, extended its international exposure in Vietnam to help address water issues there.

Hoa Nguyen, Dr. Laura Johnson and Dr. Remegio Confesor traveled to Hanoi in early March on a mission to establish a partnership with Vietnam’s National Center for Water Resources Planning and Investigation (NAWAPI) on water issues. Additionally, they participated in the Vietnam International Water Week conference and exhibition coordinated by VACI – the Vietnam Water Cooperation Initiative (VACI), where Rem gave a presentation and moderated a session on water quality and human health.
