The document discusses integrated water resources management in Vietnam. It provides background on Vietnam's water resources, noting the country has over 2,000 rivers and average annual rainfall of 1,940 mm. However, water resources are threatened by climate change, which could reduce surface water volumes by 14% by 2100. The document outlines major projects on water management, including cross-border initiatives in the Mekong Delta and projects to improve flood management and water security. It also discusses Vietnam's efforts for integrated management, which include institutional frameworks, international cooperation, investment in infrastructure, and capacity building.

2.1. River system: 2,372 rivers longer than 10 km, giving 255
billion m3 of water annually.
2.2. Rainwater: Average annual rainfall of 1,940 mm and a total
volume of 640 billion m3/year

2.3. Surface water: 830 billion m3/year
2.4. Groundwater: 60 billion m3/year
a) River runoff per region (bil.m3/yr) b) Groundwater per region (bil.m3/yr)
c) Distribution of surface and groundwater

2. WATER RESOURCES IN VIETNAM
2.5. Water utilization: Irrigation is the most water-intensive activity in
Vietnam. In the year 2000, total irrigation demand was 76.6 billion
m3, accounting for 84% of total demand.
2.6. Water limitation: Water resources will be depleted due to global
climate change. The total amount of surface water in 2025, 2070,
and 2100 will be roughly 96%, 91%, and 86% of today's volume.
2.7. Water-related impacts by climate change in Vietnam:
 Flood damage is predicted to be exacerbated by a 12-19%
increase in daily rainfall in some places by 2070
 Drought difficulties would worsen as a result of greater variability
in rainfall and evaporation (3% in coastal zones and 8% in inland
areas by 2070), which are exacerbated by rising temperatures.
 7 typhoons impact Vietnam's coast on average every year,
primarily in the central and northern provinces.
 Vietnam is one of the top two countries in the world most
affected by one-meter sea level rise.

3.1. Sustainable water resources management and development
in the Sesan, Sekong, and Srepok river basins (3S Basin)
(Cambodia, Viet Nam, Lao PDR)
Figure 6. Location of Mekong Delta
Joint Project (MRC, 2016)
1. Countries: Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR
2. Cost: $2.5 million
3. Project commencement: 2016
4. Outcome: This collaborative project will improve coordinated
national planning for developing and managing water and related
resources in the 3S Basin, resulting in coordinated federal and
possibly joint investments in hydro-meteorological systems, flood
and drought forecasting, and related services transboundary
operational water management, and water resources development
infrastructure. The initiative will also help water resource
management agencies, relevant provincial agencies, and NMCs
improve their ability to manage transboundary water resources
and climate concerns.

3.2. Integrated flood managing in the border area of Viet Nam and
Cambodia in the Mekong Delta for sustainable development and
water security (Viet Nam, Cambodia)
Figure 6. Location of Mekong Delta
Joint Project (MRC, 2016)
1. Countries: Vietnam, Cambodia
2. Cost: $2.5 million
3. Project commencement: 2017
4. Outcome: This joint project will develop an integrated flood
management strategy for the Mekong Delta, including a phased
plan of investments and supporting activities, and prepare and
implement “no regret” investments and supporting measures in the
border area of Vietnam and Cambodia for flood diversion,
agricultural improvements, and other functions, as well as develop
an integrated flood management strategy for the Mekong Delta,
including a phased plan of investments and supporting activities.
