  • Flood Control for the Red River [Vietnam]
    Total Disaster Risk Management - Good Practices - Chapter 3 Vietnam Flood Control for the Red River The Red River, the Delta and Floods The history of the development of Vietnamese civilizations is closely linked to the Red River (Hong River) Delta. As the second largest granary of Vietnam, the Delta holds a significant meaning in the life of the Vietnamese people. This is where approximately 15–20 % of Vietnam’s rice is produced. A population of 17 million now inhabits the 16,500-km2 area of the Red River Delta. The catchment area of the Red River is estimated at 169,000 km2, half of which lies in China. The Red River at Hanoi comprises three major tributary systems, the Da, Thao and Lo Rivers. The river is the source of various positive aspects for human life, such as water resources and rich alluvium (it is called the Red River as the large amount of alluvium it carries colors it red all year round). However, these go hand in hand with a much less expected occurrence: floods. Increased flash floods as a result of deforestation in the upstream parts of the Red River basin, and raised bed levels of the rivers due to the deposition of sediment, are causing higher flood levels, endangering the ever increasing socio-economic value of the capital. The land in low-lying areas of the river delta is protected against flooding by river dyke systems. According to official historical records, in 1108, King Ly Nhan Tong ordered the construction of the first dyke with solid foundations on a large scale aimed at protecting the capital of Thang Long (now Hanoi).

Diploid chromosome number, Karyotypic configuration and the number of Nucleolus Organizer Region (NOR)-bearing chromosomes was determined. Silver staining of mitotic chromosomes of common carp revealed an existence of two non-homologous sub-metacentric chromosomes bearing NORs on their entire upper shorter arms. Sequential counterstain enhanced fluorescent Chromomycin A3 also confirmed the same results.

DOI: 10.1002/jqs.2873 Holocene delta evolution and sediment flux of the Pearl River, southern China XING WEI,1* CHAOYU WU,2 PEITONG NI3 and WENYUAN MO2 1State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Science, Guangzhou 510301, China 2Center for Coastal Ocean Science and Technology Research, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510275, China 3Guangdong Research Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower, Guangzhou 510610, China Received 19 January 2016; Revised 19 April 2016; Accepted 14 May 2016 ABSTRACT: Delta progradation and sediment flux of the Pearl River Delta (PRD), southern China, during the Holocene are presented based on analyses of borehole data on the delta plain. Results indicate that the delta prograded into the drowned valley because of early Holocene inundation from 9 to 6 cal ka BP, as sea-level rise decelerated. The sea level reached its present level at about 6 cal ka BP and, as a consequence, a large portion of the drowned valley was covered by the estuary, with more than 160 rock islands and platforms. The scattered landmasses promoted active deposition and acted as deposition nuclei during deltaic evolution. Consequently, apart from exhibiting a general tendency towards progression, PRD development occurred less regularly over time and space because of deposition around island boundaries. During the last 2 ka, mainly because of significantly increased human activities, which have trapped sediments in the encircled tidal flats along the front of delta plains, the shoreline has advanced rapidly.

Materials, including syntypes where available, were examined from Russia (Primorskiy Kray), Japan, Vietnam, Cam- bodia, Bangladesh, India and Australia. The entire second internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal DNA (ITS2 rDNA) was sequenced for 18 distinct samples. Four of the five previously described species are considered to be valid: Isoparorchis trisimilitubis Southwell, 1913 (type spe- cies) from India, I.
