This is a river that carries salt and brackish water with a semi-diurnal regime and rich and diverse upstream and downstream flora and fauna. However, the river is now heavily polluted by day and night, suffering tens of thousands of cubic meters of waste water directly from factories and industrial parks.

At the port gate, Phosphate Phosphate Plant of Go Dau Industrial Zone in Phuoc Thai commune, Long Thanh district (Dong Nai), wastewater is discharged through solid black sluice gates.

Also the wastewater outlet of Vedan Vietnam Joint Stock Company is similar and the wastewater is also directly from the sluice gate that is discharged directly into the river. Therefore, the area from Thi Vai port gate to Vedan Vietnam factory basin, a dense atmosphere rises.

In addition to sinusitis, people living along this river are also shattered by the fact that fish and shrimp are exposed to a series of fatal exposures, so the rows of fish ponds along the river bank are located in Long Tho commune abandoned from for many years. Moreover, the health situation of people living near the river is also being threatened.

Through the recent inspection and survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the pollution level of the Thi Vai river water source is very alarming.

Every day the river suffers from 24,500m ³ of wastewater from factories directly discharging directly into the river.

Although there have been many survey teams from central to local level warning, the discharge of waste water directly into the river has never been prevented.
