Constructing a wastewater treatment plant is expected to revive polluted rivers in the capital city, improving the living environment of the residents and possibly promoting tourism. Currently, Hanoi does not have a detailed design or drawing of the future state after the rivers have been revived. Below are some desirable visualizations of the revitalized To Lich river, created by the AI-driven GPT chatbot…
Under normal conditions, the plant only processes 270,000m3 of water, but with rainfall, the capacity can increase up to 480,000m3 using Japanese technology. At that time, the water is directly filtered through a high-load filter tank to achieve a new quality before being discharged.

In addition to the wastewater treatment plant, the project also includes the construction of a collection system, embankments, and a connecting system along both the To Lich and Lu rivers, as well as the new urban area in Ha Dong, with a total length of about 52.62km (diameter 315-2,200mm) – Illustration by AI Chat GPT
In 2022, JVE, a Vietnamese-Japanese environmental corporation, proposed the idea of transforming the To Lich river into a historical-cultural-spiritual park combined with an underground flood prevention system and a subway. However, many experts in the urban development field believe that the idea, although bold, is “beyond reach” in terms of Vietnam’s current economic conditions and practical feasibility – Illustration by AI Bing
The revitalized Kim Nguu river will be truly lush, with two rows of trees casting shadows along the riverbank. Boats will be able to move on the river, and people around the area can breathe fresh air while standing on the shore instead of having to close their eyes and hurry along as before – Illustration by AI Bing
The revitalized To Lich river will become a weekend destination for many residents in the capital city – AI Bing’s illustration
The clean water and shady tree lines along the riverbank promise to be an unmissable spot for visitors to Hanoi
The To Lich river, not only as a recreational area for residents, but also as an iconic feature of Hanoi, will have immense political, cultural, historical, and tourism value, creating employment for thousands of workers
The Yen Xa wastewater treatment system project not only improves living conditions, the natural ecosystem, and sanitation in central urban areas along many rivers in the capital city, such as the To Lich, Lu, and Set rivers, but also serves nearly one million residents in 6 inner districts and Thanh Tri district
