Welcome to the Workshop

Distinguished authorities,

Professor Le Quang Minh, vice president of the Vietnam National University,

Prof. Ho Long Phi, Director of the Centre of Water Management & Climate Change

Dr. Wim Douven, Associate Professor of Integrated River Basin Management UNESCO-IHE

Distinguished representatives from international institutes from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam and the Netherlands

Dear friends,

1. On behalf of the Dutch Government, it is a great pleasure and honour to welcome you to the International training workshop ‘Challenges and Approaches in River Delta Planning’, hosted by the Vietnam National University of Ho Chi Minh City and organized by UNESCO-IHE, Wageningen University , Deltares and VNU and in collaboration with Delta Alliance.

2. This training workshop is an excellent example how different countries can cooperate and share the latest insights on river delta planning. I am certain that this training workshop will be very effective due to the fact that all participants are the experts who are actually involved in the river delta planning in your respective countries.

3. Sharing experiences obtained from different Deltas like the Mekong Delta, Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta, Ciliwung Delta, Irrawady delta and the Rhine-Meuse Delta is of great importance. In all countries the river deltas are the common engines of the economy, providing in food security, employment, urban settlements, industries and nature.

4. There lies a tremendous challenge in addressing integrated planning to build Climate Proof deltas within the context of many variables of changing parameters, and uncertainties of what the future will bring.

5. This in a context in multiple-dimensions such as growth strategies with emphasis on urban, industry and agriculture, competition between water-users, preserving environment, and cross-boundary water management.

6. Land and water are valuable and scarce resources in the deltas. Although traditional agriculture and aquaculture are recognized to be of paramount importance for Vietnam and for the World, it cannot support a reasonable income for the delta’s population. Too many people depend on that. Poverty and un-employment is still a major challenge. Industrialization and specialization are necessary to provide for jobs and perspective for current and future generations.

7. The question is how and where. More land for industry and cities in the Delta could harm agriculture and threaten basic food security, reduce the land available for rice production. Fast development of the cities, like Ho Chi Minh City, might give relief as the new generation will move to there for opportunity. This is already happening. These multiple dimensions of decision making will be central in the training workshop.

8. The Netherlands has the ambition to play a central role in cooperating with other Delta countries on climate change adaptation strategies. The challenge in such strategies is not to overdo and run in high costs and not underdo causing safety risks. Also to maintain maximum flexibility and most natural solutions (like building with nature) to keep open as much as possible opportunities for the future. In such case, interventions are mostly known as no-regret measures. A healthy economic environment should be created that supports investment, infrastructure development, agricultural production and safe urban areas.

9. The Vietnamese and Dutch Government have agreed in 2010 to cooperate on designing a Vision for the Mekong Delta for the next 100 years to respond adequately to climate change. This is not a simple task and it requires intensive cooperation between the Vietnamese and Dutch experts to design such plan. It should be adaptive to future changes (economically, environmentally, socially, politically etc.) and it should also address issues crucial required investments at the right time.

10.As there is no fixed formula it is important to share experiences between the delta countries represented here today supporting North-South cooperation as well as South-South cooperation. An excellent example of such cooperation was actually last week when the Minister of Planning from Bangladesh and his delegation visited Vietnam to discuss with the Vietnamese and Dutch experts on development strategies for the Mekong delta.

11. I would like to take this opportunity also to call your attention to the important upcoming Deltas-2013 conference organized by the of America, Vietnam and the Netherlands. This conference follows up on the successful first conference that was held in New Orleans in 2010, where some of you might have participated also. The second World Delta Dialogues conference will be organized here in Vietnam between 20 and 24 of May next year. Your political leaders and experts are sincerely invited to make this conference a success and support with a Delta-covenant addressing commitment to make deltas prosperous, economically viable and safe living habitats. Please keep track on the website information regarding the invitation for presentations etc.

12.The Dutch Government would like to share our knowledge and skills internationally. We believe that by putting our heads together, we can achieve more in confronting global water-related challenges. For centuries, the Dutch have been involved in large international projects. International cooperation is second nature for a small trading nation. It is my view, the large water challenges we all face, can only be met if we work together.

13.To finalize my presentation I would like to present to you a short movie about the bilateral cooperation in the water and climate sector. It demonstrates the importance of the Deltas as well as the importance of close cooperation between knowledge institutes, private sector and government.

14. I hope you enjoy the 5 minute movie and get even more inspired for this week’s training workshop.

15. I would like to thank the organisers UNESCO-IHE, Wageningen University , Deltares and Vietnam National University for organising this event.

16.Thank you for your attention and I wish you a successful workshop!

Water resources Water-related problems of the Mekong basin

Salinity intrusion in dry season Flooded area in rainy season

The hydrological impacts may be the most important factors that determine the destiny of the MKD. As Viet Nam part contributes only 10% of the water resources, the MKD will be heavily impacted by future developments and climate change in the whole upstreamcatchment.

Sedimentation Fishery

 Extensive development of reservoirs for hydropower and irrigation in MKB will create sediment traps. MKD  Inland fishery, both fishing and farming still rely on problems: nutrient, land subsidence. natural fish fry and fingerling.

 Dam cascades will dfihiildestruct fish migration cycle and, therefore, heavily damage the fishery of the lower MKB.

Climate changes in the catchment would imply more floods and also more droughts, which may create serious transboundary water issues. Sea level rise may trigger anthropogenic reactions, most of them are irreversible.

Remarks Part 3: Planning Requirements  External factors will reshape the fate of the MKD.

 Water-related problems will be the most important limits of the MKD development in future .

 The sustainable development of the MKD has to base on self-adaptation capacity.

Possible responses Planning Implications  The MKD would be very vulnerable as its destiny might be determined from outside (Upstream development, sea level rise) Protection?  None of the external impacts can be neither predicted nor controlled.

Migration?  The Migration from MKD may trigger serious socio-economical problems for HCMC and Sai Gon Dong Nai basin.

 High Uncertainties, both in internal and external causes, have to be considered in Adaptation? the MKD planning.

 The Pareto-optimal would not be usually reachable.

 The external impacts would be hardy resolved.  Water management in the MKB and also within the delta has been still a Zero-sum game, in which upstream players set the rule of the game.  Adaptation capacity will reshape the future of MKD.

 Conflict resolution (transboundary- and delta-wide) will be the most challenging objective of the planning.  Human resources of the MKD will be the most important factor that determines its resilience capacity.

Scorecard and related indicators Delta score cards - overview

resilience/sustainability: ++ (very good), + (good), 0 (medium), - (low), -- (very low)

Towards indicators of change Delta score cards - Conclusions

For most of the deltas current resilience and sustainability is not satisfactory

Reasons differ per delta but some general mechanisms: • An imbalance between demands and supply with regard to land and water use; • An inadequate or ageing infrastructure in the delta; • Disruption of the natural delta processes; • Inadequate governance to address problems and implement solutions.

For a number of deltas the challenge is defining a comprehensive (multi-sectoral) delta plan

The combined DPSIR-layer approach has proven to be useful

Until 2001, about 63% mangrove areas was deforested mainly due to conversion for shrimp ponds. Loss of more than half the mangrove forests caused environmental impacts and affected aquatic productivity, social and economic condition and the livelihoods of communities living in Mahakam delta.  Conflicts among various resource users were a frequent occurrence in the local communities, particularly related to land ownership and water pollution issues. 49

12  Cultural Landscape of Bali Province: the Subak COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION System as a Manifestation of the Tri Hita Karana Philosophy (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1194)  The cultural landscape of Bali consists of five rice terraces and their water temples that cover 19,500 ha. The temples are the focus of a cooperative water management system of canals and weirs, known as subak, that dates back to the 9th century. Included in the landscape is the 18th-century Royal Water Temple of Pura Taman Ayun, the largest and most impressive architectural edifice of its type on the island. The subak reflects the philosophical concept of Tri Hita Karana, which brings together the realms of the spirit, the human world and nature. This philosophy was born of the cultural exchange between Bali and India over the past 2,000 years and has shaped the landscape of Bali. The subak system of democratic and egalitarian farming practices has enabled the Balinese to become the most prolific rice growers in the archipelago despite the challenge of supporting a dense population.

Governance issues

Governmental cooperation – governmental ‘Delta Commission’ has drafted a long-term vision for delta management (more sustainability, while maintaining safety levels)

Cooperation between government and private sector – many Public-Private Partnerships in the fields of infrastructure, housing and coastal defense

Involvement of stakeholders and citizens – procured by laws and legal instruments; many NGOs are influencing policy and implementation of plans

Approaches for dealing with risks and uncertainties – growing attention for flood risk awareness- raising, implementation of more resilient flood risk management strategies, and early-warning and recovery programs

Main strengths and weaknesses Main strengths and weaknesses in planning

Strenghts: • Knowledge basis • Active civil society • Waterschappen (waterboards) • Delta Law

Weaknesses • Water management and spatial planning not well integrated (but recent new department for Space and Water is good start) • Long procedures create uncertainty among local people • (Too?) many administrative layers

Quote from Ho Long Phi Why do we need scenarios

. Scenarios are plausible, and often simplified, representation of future state of socio-economic and biophysical parameters – scenarios are neither predictions nor forecasts; “External impacts can be neither ● There are no probabilities linked to different scenarios . Both future climate and socio-economic development are predicted nor controlled” uncertainty . Key Uncertainties in climate change scenarios ● Future greenhouse gas emissions ● Carbon sensitivity ● Impact of global warming on changes in hydrological cycle . Key Uncertainties in socio-economic scenarios ● Future economic development ● Future national and local population density ● Direction of development (rural vs. urban/agriculture vs industrial)

The problem…

Coastal erosion and what to do about it

25 October 2012 Workshop Challenges and Approaches in River Delta Planning

Marcel Marchand

Coastal erosion is a worldwide phenomenon social equity

Problem analysis

• Coastal erosion is a natural phenomenon. It becomes a problem if coastal functions are at risk: • Beach quality • Flood risk • Land loss • Understand the process: • is it structural or event-driven (storms)? • Is the coast in equilibrium or not? • What are the root causes? • Sediment belance • Effect of sea level rise

1 11/18/2012

Coastal cell: sediment budgets River basin developments

Equilibrium or not, that is the question Hard structures

Hard structures to protect the coast are often only making the problem worse

Solutions: the costs

Type of structure Construction + maintenance costs over 50 years (in Euro per m coastline per year)

Straight rock groynes 50 to 150

Rock revetments 100 to 200

Shoreface nourishments (every 5 years) 100 to 200 (if sand is easily available)

Sea walls 150 to 300

Beach fills (every 3 years) 200 to 300 (if sand is easily available)

Submerged breakwaters 200 to 400

Emerged breakwaters 250 to 500

4 Mangroves disappear at fast rate!

Southern coast Thailand: 1973: most of the coast is lined with mangrove forest

Mangrove restoration: some ecological background and guidelines by 2000 most mangrove has disappeard by shrimp cultivation, new infrastructure and dykes

Many restoration projects are not successful Many restoration projects are very expensive

20 year USAID in Philippines: 440 million juveniles planted on 44,000 ha at M$ 17.6 5 – 10 % survived (often after replantation)

Mangroves: 250 - 200,000 US Dollar / ha Seagrasses: up to 1 million US Dollar / ha Coral reefs: 10,000 – 5 million US Dollar / ha

5 Steps to successful mangrove restoration

Nature is the Understand mangrove ecology best eco-engineer Understand hydrology Assess what has changed (why no natural recovery?) * Scale * Natural Restore hydrology and allow natural recruitment Planting mangroves if there is no natural recruitment * Cost- effective

1 1. Mangrove ecology Mangrove forest as ecosystem

Mangrove forest is more than just Healthy forest is able to trees! influence its environment

Role of crabs: can be negative for young seedlingg(s (eatin g leaves ), but positive for full grown trees (digging holes good for oxygen)

Mangrove foodweb and nursery Natural recruitment

not by seeds, but propagules: kind of miniature trees that can quickly take root in a rough environment

Salt tolerance 2. Mangrove hydrology

Mangrove forest consists of trees which are salt tolerant. But salt is a stress for the tree:

20 ppt  35 ppt salinity means 50% growth reduction

In fresh water mangrove trees can grow, but are outcompeted by freshwater plants Fresh water prevents excess respiratory losses, salt water prevents invasion and competition of non halophytes Fresh water is a physiological requirement and salt water is an ecological requirement Each mangrove species has its own tolerance to salinity. This is the reason for zonation (next slide). Most of trees between Mean HW neap and Mean HW spring. So do not plant trees on mudflats that are on MSL!

2 Mangrove roots Sources of freshwater

river outflow: local rainfall groundwater

what could be the function of these root structures?

Understanding of physical coastal processes 3. Assess why mangrove disappeared

identify the stress; e.g. reduced freshwater due to barrier or dyke blocked tidal indundation due to dyke or otherwise tree felling for wood conversion to aquaculture overgrazing by goats , cattle storm surge or tsunami pollution coastal erosion weather variability climate change

4. Remove the stress 5. Planting

try to restore the original ONLY if natural recovery is not hydrodynamics happening, then plant trees! stop cutting trees etc. remove (part of ) aquaculture selection of trees: consult ecologist

select location: not on tidal flat, but then observe if mangrove seedlings above high water neap come back (natural seedling recruitment)

3 Make a plan with clear goals and objectives

ecological goals / conservation recreation & eco-tourism preservation of historic land-use flood control (water storage) coastal protection water quality improvement

Planning Participation

Legal issues (ownership, tenure, conservation status) Management responsibility (maintenance) Sustainability Autonomous developments / external factors Integrated approach

Developing agriculture, aquaculture and Pressures  Assessment shows huge impact on hydrology (water environment based adaptation strategies in resources) – Saline, Brackish & Fresh

 see level rise & typhoon surges coping with climate change in deltas  fresh water floods (peak, flows, duration & run-off)

 high intensity rainfall & dry spells Henk Wösten et al.  How to cope with changing water conditions?

 increase brackish water retention (storage of fresh water?) decrease salinity intrusion

 increase high rainwater retention (reduce floods)

 increase fresh water storage (flood protection & dry spell reserves)

 increase coastal defence (high sea level & typhoon)

 Increased water level may: Impacts CCA responses  Reduce locations suitable for aquaculture

 Increase cost for protection dikes and water pumping  How to provide future water storage/regulation capacities?  Increased salinity may:  Where to provide for these water storage capacities?  Reduce locations suitable for fresh water aquaculture species

 Reduce time window for seasonal fresh water cultures  CC has potentially drastic impacts on

 Increase locations for brackish water cultures agriculture/aquaculture/nature  Increased temperature may:  Can we transform threats into opportunities?  Alter fish’ physiological functions, e.g. thermal tolerance, growth, metabolism, food consumption, reproductive success  Change goal of Natural Resources planning and management:  Alter fish’ ability to maintain internal homeostasis  In past: optimize land & water for production systems  Reduce O2 in water => lower fish growth & farm income   Modify biodiversity in rivers => reduce carrying capacity for effluent Future CCA : optimize systems to water regulation requirements nutrients => increase environmental impact

Process phases & outputs The Dutch delta 1. Identify & quantify CCA needs for Saline – Brackish – Fresh water storage/regulation and AE.

2. Define scope and water interrelations of AAN systems (aquaculture, crops, mangroves) providing these needs

3. Design innovative AAN systems with improved CCA of their water interrelations.

4. Integrate the AAN innovations into a CCA adaptation plan (provincial level) => CCA informed aquatic environments and their production capacity. Different services – different needs 5. Quantify the capacity of these CCA water retention/regulation o Food supply → freshwater services. o Nature conservation / biodiversity → natural systems 6. Define the potential for up-scaling these CCA strategies. o Safety → dams/dikes

• Discrepancy between our expectations/vision in the plan and Addressing uncertainties in planning reality: Human dimensions are important (less attention compared to technicalities) and need proper treatment. • Scenarios planning: Bracketing future: possible • Multiple solutions to one problem, multiple pathways to one goal. Realize that there are more than one possible future and more than futures to capture uncertainties one ‘good’ equilibrium. • Robust and flex ible strategies: What will work • ThTechno log ies and environment can be well hdldhandled, but human dimension does matter: Different between needs and what they in any case?

Thank you very much. 26: Provide additional section: round-table negotiation between groups of upstream delta, urban delta and coastal delta. 27: Try to deliver handouts before presentation so it's much useful to track the trainers. 29: For the time being the course was too much important and interesting. It will enable all the participants to think about own delta problem in an integrated way. After the training I think I can contribute a lot in my delta planning. 30: The course is very much helpful, informative, contain latest thinking for the river delta planning and it is very much appropriate for my country as well as for my professional development. 31: The topic is a bit broad. It is not easy to digest all material provided. 32: The course is very good, especially for participants which are working on related fields. But the total available time should be considered in order to give more detail lectures. 33: the course provides various practical tools that enhance my experiences of different delta situations. It is very helpful for my critical thinking to apply in my local situation in CK, especially since I am working in REDD+/ climate change issues. That has direct relation with upstream delta.

17: Group work for sharing knowledge from different types of deltas. 18: The course is very well designed for specific topic of planning in emerging deltas. 19: Very active and productive discussions after each presentation. 20: The interactive among the participants. The interactive between the lectures and the participant. 21: The training method 22: Enabling participants to develop different scenarios of delta development issues from which participants can make plans and strategies. 23: - Addressing the challenge in Delta planning, especially in different deltas. - Approaching the methods to solve the serious problems. 24: The cooperation between participants is good. 25: The people from several countries and disciplines share their knowledge, opinions and enjoy together. Also the field trip to Mekong Delta was great. 26: Characteristics and issues of delta planning. 27: - Practical information, good approach for delta planning, good organization, re-cap. 28: Knowledge's related to Delta planning and analysis generally on strategies and measures. 29: The approaches of this training were interesting to me. Because at first all of the facilitators five us sound knowledge about the theory and they tried to combine theory with examples. 30: Decorative and nicely presented which is easy to catch? 31: Working together 32: I like strongly about study comparative share on experience coming from other countries. 33: The lecturers and participants are coming from various expertise's and situations that enhance my knowledge and understanding of different scenarios & future possible development. This mix of participants is very helpful to develop network & common understanding among different countries.

B. What did you like the least about this training?

1: Travelling about 1 and 1/2 hours 2: The field visit. It was very nice but learning points were limited. However the guide did give us some good information. 3: Nothing 5: The sequence of lecturers was sometimes not in proper order. 6: Lack of guidance in the discussion/ group work among the participant in order to have meaningful/fruitful discussion 9: The field trip 12: Field study, participants location 13: Time is quite hard 15: Almost nothing 16: I actually like to listen more about human interaction in problems arising among deltas and how the people involved in planning, addressing the issues and solve them. Adaptive capacities of the most vulnerable group & people. I hope to meet it again in other workshop. 18: It would be perfect to have more information on the DIPSIR model. 19: Location of the VNU is too far from the city's centre. It took a long time (1 hr) for transportation. 20: The hotel accommodation 23: The transportation. It takes time to go to the workshop place. 24: It's better if the working time of workshop could be shorter. It should finish at 4 pm instead of 5 pm. 25: The location is quite far from my living area, but after all it is ok. 26: Moving 25km everyday 29: The integration of different approaches as well as different methods to analyze delta problems. 30: The duration and length of this training should be increased. 32: The least I like that the questions came from participants which not related to the topic.

C. What did you find most difficult?

3: Language barrier 4: Difficult for me is a little bit on professional 5: The English pronunciation of the Vietnamese and Indonesian participant. 6: Climate change scenario 7: There is a difficulty because of different ideas. It is not easy to work in international group (May be training time is short). 8: There are several terms to be understood, but fortunately it can be handled during the workshop. 10: Too long sessions 11: How to apply new approaches to the real planning tasks for the particular area. 12: New approaches and frameworks. Language pronunciation. 14: A comprehensive planning for complicated delta. 16: Since I don't have much knowledge in water resource planning, so I found difficulty in understanding some specific concepts and professional knowledge. 18: I did not find any topic/issue that is too difficult. 19: Combine issues of different deltas and figure out solutions for general problems. 22: To be able to link different issues to solving problems of deltas. 25: My background is computer science, so there were some points I could not follow, especially the specific terminology in environmental science. 26: Myself have few experience about delta. Therefore it's hard to contribute to work group. 27: How to organize the steering committee and operational team to finish the delta plan successfully. 29:Sometimes I found that integration of different options for policy making is a tough job. 30: To catch the things from Vietnam and Indonesian participants. 31: How to implement some new concepts (e.g. adaptive management, uncertainty analysis). 32: The most difficult is to formulate the solution to overcome the problem.

D. Was there anything you found missing in this training which you believe should have been included?

2: A documentary film maybe. 3: More example 5: Some quantitative measurement tool 6: Economic & social perspectives in identifying the issues in developing a delta plan. 7: The way for working in group. There are a lot of individual ideas. 12: -Social factors. We should put some presentation which focus on social issues. -Participants from Mekong Delta ( experts, officers, NGO's) 14: A sample of good planning for a delta in developing country. 15: Experiences sharing in reality planning work. 16: It was included in B (what did you like the least about this training?) 17: The course should include one lecture basics of planning process, strategy and policy development. 18: Given the time availability, I think nothing should be added. 20: The case of Delta Mekong hasn't really present in the training. 23: I think that this teaching workshop focus on the theory. The technical tools to solve the problems in planning deltas should be involved. 25: The use of information system or computing system in supporting the planning process. 26: Enough for certain time. 30: If possible to include some modeling like flood modeling, atmospheric modeling. 31: Providing some tools (packages)for senior development, mapping, data collection. 32: The result of the course which has formulated as a principal response is very important. 33: There is no specific overview on upstream delta. The lecturers were about urban & coastal area. In Vietnam and Bangladesh: upstream issue is related strongly with transboundary among countries. In Indonesia is about deforestation & loss bioversity. These are important to address.

E. Any other comments or suggestions to improve the training

6: -Each specific country's perspective/problem in developing. (political condition, socio.economic condition etc.) -Better field trip in order to give a better idea/insight for the participant about delta planning. Perhaps interaction with the related government agency? 7: Need more time for group discussion. 8: The location of training and the place for staying should be located closer, considering time management. In some sessions need more time. 12: -To provide material, folder including all presentations instead of one by one from day by day - Maybe provide small bag/folder to keep documents 14: A strict schedule should be proposed 18: One or two talks/lecturers from local experts would be very helpful for the participants. 20: The field trip/excursion has not reflected the challenge and solution of the Delta. We haven't see the part of the job of the Delta planning progress. 23: About the venue, I think we should not set up the class far from the hotel because it takes time. 25: Should the lecturers send their presentation slides to the participants before their speeches? 26: Detail methodology of delta/urban planning 33: The distance between hotel & venue is considerable far. I like hotel locations which are close to market and city life. I would suggest to reduce study time to 16:30 pm to allow enough time get back to hotel and rest. It was too heavy when we finished between 17:15 to 17:30 pm.
