Project information summary:
In recent
decades, the Red River Basin has witnessed rapid changes in land
use that have seriously threatened water resources and
sustainable development within the river basin. The processes of
urbanization, deforestation, intensive agriculture, etc. have
caused serious consequences such as pollution, ecosystem
degradation, increased greenhouse gas emissions, fresh water
shortages. This is a serious imbalance between socio-economic
development and conservation of land and water resources.
Vietnam
Water and Environment Center (VINWATER) and Delft University of
Technology, Netherlands (TU Delft) together with some other
partners in Vietnam have successfully implemented MK27 Project -
" Integrated Roads Control the Red River Landscape on the basis
of ecosystem services". This project has been implemented in Đáy
River basin, a tributary of the Red River Basin, and is
particularly important for Hanoi, where most of the above
problems are manifested. The requirement is to have strategies
for economic development but still ensure durability. The land
and water resources are well established and these problems have
been addressed through multi-sectoral dialogues in the river
basin system. The bottom line, which uses socio-economic
development scenarios, emission levels, along with support from
community science tools, includes the application and
development of scientific instruments. The results of the
project show the suitable development road for Đáy River basin,
which integrates the development of the landscape of the river
basin in the future. A balance between economic growth dynamics,
along with minimal use of land and water resources, will ensure
optimal social and environmental benefits for decades to come.
Project Activity Summary:
VINWATER has
conducted and assisted the project team in constructing and
setting up a simulation model of the meteorological and
hydrological elements associated with the hydraulic model
simulating the river network and the water balance problem on
the river system of Đà River - Đáy River, in the Red River
basin.
The main
activities include: - Organize the structure to improve the water resource planning
process (on the basis of ecosystem and gender balance and
sensitivity)
- Monitor ecosystem service using remote sensing, community
science, and other ground observations.
- Create adaptation, participation, scenarios and development
paths.
- Develop hydrographic and hydrological models and extract
numerical results of basic meteorological and hydrographical
elements as input to hydraulic models (temperature, humidity,
precipitation, evaporation)
- Develop integrated hydraulic model with hydro-meteorological
model, description of river network and 1D & 2D flow model.
- Plan
for sustainable development of the Red River Delta in the
context of climate change
- Simulate meteorological, Hydrological & Hydraulic models to
support the planning of sustainable development of the Red River
landscape
- Organize models for integrated management of climate,
meteorological and hydrographical basin-dependent river-river
basin.
- Organize periodic training and transfer of results to Vietnamese
professional and research management agencies (Departments of
specialized institutes under MONRE and MARD).
