  abstract = {{U}rbanisation and demographic growth are putting pressure on surface water quality in many large cities. {M}icrobial water quality, as determined by the presence of fecal indicator bacteria ({FIB}) was investigated in 15 urban lakes in the inner city of {H}anoi, {V}ietnam from 2021 to 2023. {FIB} (total coliforms, {TC} and {E}scherichia coli, {EC}) numbers exceeded the allowed values of the {V}ietnam technical regulation for surface freshwater {QCVN} 08-{MT}:2015/{BTNMT} in most studied lakes. {H}igh domestic sewage discharge from residential areas and surface runoff from surrounding areas were the major sources of lake water pollution. {H}igh {FIB} numbers in these lakes mean that the use of water for market gardening or leisure activities or the consummation of fish and other aquatic products from these lakes may pose a risk to the population. {T}hese results provide the base of a dataset on water quality, which is a necessary precursor for any scientifically based management plan.},
