Under the programme, a centre will be set up to analyse environmental data such as water and air quality and equipment will be installed in various locations in Vietnam. NTT DATA will research Mekong River water levels and quality, as well as the air quality in Ho Chi Minh City. The company will collect energy data from industrial parks in the outskirts of Hanoi to determine ways to use power in a more economical and effective manner./.
