AbstractCurrently, the overload on drainage of the existing systems along with the development of the increasing urbanization of the big cities like Ho Chi Minh City has led to flooding on many streets, with the level of flood is wider and heavier day by day. One of the issues affected by flood that is the congestion and traffic jams on the roads of Ho Chi Minh City’s areas, which has caused pressing and affect the economic and social activities, life environment and the daily activities of people traveling in the region. In the recent period, the city government also is trying to invest in renovating and upgrading of infrastructure for roads and drainage in the areas of Ho Chi Minh. Typ ically, a water infrastructure projects have been implemented on a large scale, specifically : Ho Chi Minh City Environmental Sanitation Project Basin Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe ; Ho Chi Minh City Water Environmental Sanitation Project Basin Tau Hu - Ben Nghe - Kenh Te - Kenh Doi ; Canal Tan Hoa – Lo Gom Sanitation and Urban Upgrading Project , etc. However, in the process of implementation has encountered many difficulties such as the construction schedule are affected because the infrastructure systems are not controlled, the weak contractor capacity, capital limited investment. Besides, the function of our State Management is loose, many duplicate projects which we call "walked together" projects, plus with the investment does not spread as a strategy or a speci fic plan has made to a waste of investment. All of these are leaving a result, an issue that needs attention and consideration, which is effective in the management of construction and drainage in the areas of Ho Chi Minh City. Facing this reality, those problems require the city authorities need to organize and research actively, inspection and review the city’s management and construction drainage system now. That work to ensure if they has consistent and effective in the current development phase to propose remedies and the develop orientation in the management of construction and drainage system in the future. Besides improving project schedules is the most important in order to solve aspiration of urban residents. That is why I chose this topic for my l ast case study.
