Abstract
Tam Phuoc - Phuoc Tan mine cluster has a planned area of over 400ha. Currently, the area has 10 exploiting stone mines with an area of 354.18 ha (8 on the left bank and the others on the right). The distance from the edge of the mine to the river bank is at least 50m, the cote of exploitation is -80m. Buong River has a total length of 53km, the section running through the Tam Phuoc-Phuoc Tan mine cluster is the middle part of the river, about 6.6 km long, the stream is zigzag in the general direction from the Northeast to the Southeast. All operating mines have prepared environmental impact assessment reports but individually, there has been no overall impact assessment of the mine clusters on the Buong River.<br> This study focuses on assessing the impact of the mine cluster on the water quality of the Buong River through the collection of measurement data of the water quality of the Buong River and the quality of wastewater of mines in 10 years (2008-2018 ). The results show that the water quality of the Buong River is declining and in the future, it is no longer able to receive wastewater from the mine cluster.
