Hanoi has the Black River is the boundary between Hanoi and Phu Tho, the confluence with the Red River in the north of the city in Ba Vi. Also, on the territory Hanoi as many other rivers Day River, Duong, Cau, Ca Lo, small rivers flowing in ... the inner city as Lich, river Taurus, ... is the drainage path of Hanoi. [9]
Hanoi is a city of many lakes in particular, remnants of ancient rivers. In the inner city, West Lake has the largest area, about 500 ha, plays an important role in the urban landscape, today is surrounded by hotels, villas (see photos).

Only in urban areas, a day of waste water discharged directly into rivers and lakes around 650,000 m3 / day (2015). To Lich River, the main drainage axis of the city, to receive daily about 250,000 m³ of wastewater discharged directly into the river without treatment.

However, due to the strong impact of the monsoon should start time and end of each season, often unevenly between the years, so the division of the months are approximate only.
