  • Problematic Progress: Reading Environmental and Social Change in the Mekong Delta
    77 Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, 34 (1), pp 77-96 February 2003. Printed in the United Kingdom. © 2003 The National University of Singapore Problematic Progress: Reading Environmental and Social Change in the Mekong Delta David Biggs Colonial engineers and administrators often referred to the pre-colonial Mekong Delta landscape as a vast solitude yet to be reorganised through their hydraulic technology. However, the environmental history of the Delta's waterways is more complex, suggesting that colonial projects were to some extent embedded within an existing infrastructure. This problematises the rhetorical concept of Progress within a colonial context and its value as a metaphor to understand human changes to the landscape. In 1930 the Governor-General of French Indochina, Pierre Pasquier, spoke at the inauguration ceremony for a new canal in the western Mekong Delta. French planners had designed the canal to improve transportation along the coast of the (then) Gulf of Siam between R≠ch Giá and Hà Tiên; it was to carry fresh water into coastal lands seasonally inundated by salt water, one of a series of projects to expand settlement into the Long Xuyên Quadrangle (T4 giác), a depressed floodplain covering more than 400,000 hectares between the H¢u Giang River and the Gulf. The Quadrangle is bounded at its corners by the towns of Long Xuyên, Châu ∏πc, Hà Tiên and R≠ch Giá. Pasquier used the opportunity to defend the colonial position in Indochina at a time when anti- colonial uprisings were mounting. He celebrated France’s ‘civilising

  • Touring Vietnam Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to Hanoi in 14 Days / 11 Stages/ 1200 Miles
    Touring Vietnam Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to Hanoi in 14 days / 11 stages/ 1200 miles. Our tour began in mid-February but my tale goes back to October during an annual two day group ride through Big Sur. Chuck Schroyer who was providing SAG support and he told me he was going to do this trip with Dzung Dang. Chuck and Dzung I knew from riding SuperTour. Bonnie Faigeles, also a SuperTour veteran was on the Big Sur ride, separately Chuck told Bonnie about the trip and she also decided she wanted to be part of it. We were the four musketeers. Dzung was born in Vietnam and like so many he with his family had to leave when the war ended in 1975. When Dzung started cycling he decided to tour Vietnam which he did in 2012. That trip was solo and he made many friends along the way. He toured the country again in 2014 with a friend he met and support along the way. Support for four riders included a seven passenger SUV, one native guide and driver. We also had two local riders receiving support for the first few days from Saigon to Danang. When I signed up I did not realize this was much more than a bike tour. On Dzung’s previous tours he had raised funds to aid poor children and orphanages. The network he had created in the country was organized around the cycling clubs. Our trip included three days where we visited schools and orphanages to distribute aid which included bicycles for the neediest children.

  • Ca Mau Shrimp Aquaculture Improvement Project Last Update: March 2015 Species: Shrimp Species Including: Black Tiger Shrimp (Pen
    Ca Mau Shrimp Aquaculture Improvement Project Last Update: March 2015 Species: Shrimp species including: black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) Pacific white shrimp or whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) AIP Region: SFP, in collaboration with Mekong Tomland Co., conducted scoping activities in the first quarter of 2014 and consulted with key stakeholders including the local government, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), provincial aquaculture offices, fishery associations, producers, and processing plants in the targeted shrimp- producing area in southern Vietnam. Although Vietnam has a long coastline and shrimp farms are scattered across the country, 70% of shrimp production is still coming from the southern part of the country. Hence, SFP identified Ca Mau Province, which contributes 25 percent of the nation’s shrimp production, as the pilot zone for Vietnam’s shrimp improvement. More than 40 shrimp producers/stakeholders, all operating in the same bodies of water, have recently formed a network in the CaiDoiVam District of Ca Mau (see maps below). (A) Map of Southern Vietnam; (B) Ca Mau Province; (C) Cai Doi Vam District Source: Google Maps AIP Participants: Key stakeholders of the shrimp industry in Ca Mau Province: • Cai Doi Vam Shrimp Farmers Group – includes 40 small-scale shrimp producers with a total production area of 40 ha. This group is led by a committee of five local farmers. • Aquaculture Division of Ca Mau • Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Ca Mau • SFP • Mekong Tomland Co.

It was considered as a major natural disaster which has effects on the physic and spirit in people’s life in this area. This research aims to generate a flood hazard map and assess the flood situation at LXQ in 2015. The MNDWI (Modification of Normalized Difference Water Index) extracting from Sentinel-2 image was used to map the flood extent at LXQ during rainy season in 2015. The statistics method estimated correlation coefficient between flooding spatial distribution and hydrological stations on SPSS (Statistical Product and Services Solutions) software. The results showed that the severe flood occurred from August to December in 2015. There were about 47.6% and 28.2% of the total areas that were inundated in October and August, respectively.
