Study on Nationwide Water Resources Development and Management in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam CHAPTER 1 SCOPE OF THE STUDY 1.1 Background of the Study Water resources in Vietnam are characterized by severe water shortage in the dry season and, on the contrary, serious flood damages in the rainy season. The water shortage in the dry season causes not only irrigation domestic and industrial water supply problems but also serious water pollution and saline water intrusion. Flood damages in the rainy season including agricultural production loss, human lives and important assets in densely populated urban areas are being accelerated due to recent remarkable urbanization. As such, solution of the problems is of keen necessity of Vietnam, and several water resources development projects comprising mainly multipurpose dam based projects have been proposed by each province. However, since the proposed projects are not integrated as a basin-wide water resources development, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has difficulty to determine the implementation sequence for these water resources developments. In order to overcome these constraints, the Government of Vietnam has come to conclusion that an integrated approach to water resources development and management is unavoidable, and had a strong intention to carry out a study on nationwide water resources development and management. In order to materialize the study, the Government of Vietnam requested to the Government of Japan the technical assistance of the Study on Nationwide Water Resources Development and Management Master Plan (the Study). In response to request of the Government of Vietnam, the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Study within the general framework of the technical cooperation between the Government of Japan and the Government of Vietnam signed on October 20, 1998. 1.2 Objectives of the Study The objectives of the Study are: (1) To formulate a master plan for nationwide water resources development and management, (2) To conduct a feasibility study for selected priority projects, and (3) To pursue technology transfer to counterpart personnel in the course of the Study. FINAL REPORT 1-1 Phase 1 Study on Nationwide Water Resources Development and Management in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 1.3 Study Area The Study covers the following 14 major river basins: 1) Bang Giang and Ky Cung River basin 2) Red and Thai Binh River basin 3) Ma River basin 4) Ca River basin 5) Thach Han River basin 6) Huong River basin 7) Vu Gia-Thu Bon River basin 8) Tra Khuc River basin 9) Kone River basin 10) Ba River basin 11) Sesan River basin 12) Srepok River basin 13) Dong Nai River basin 14) Cuu Long River basin Location map of the above 14 major river basins is shown in Figure 1.1 1.4 Scope of the Study The Study has been undertaken in the following manner in the two phases: Phase I : [Basic Study and Formulation of Master Plan] a) Formulation of a master plan for nationwide water resources development and management in 14 major river basins Phase II : [Formulation of Integrated River Basin Management Plan(s) for the Selected River Basin(s) and Feasibility Study on Priority Projects] a) Formulation of an integrated river basin management plan for the Huong River basin (Phase 2-1) b) Formulation of an integrated river basin management plan for the priority river basin selected from 14 river basins (Kone River basin, Phase 2-2) c) Feasibility study for the priority projects to be selected from the priority river basin (Phase 2-3) FINAL REPORT 1-2 Phase 1 Study on Nationwide Water Resources Development and Management in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 1.5 Implementation Organization Institute of Water Resources Planning, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development(MARD) act as the counterpart body to the JICA Study Team and also as the coordinating body in relation with other governmental and non-governmental organizations concerned in Vietnam for the smooth implementation of the Study.

    In Koguryo Dynasty the State-Formation History Starts from B

    International Journal of Korean History(Vol.6, Dec.2004) 1 History of Koguryŏ and China’s Northeast Asian Project 1Park Kyeong-chul * Introduction The Koguryŏ Dynasty, established during the 3rd century B.C. around the Maek tribe is believed to have begun its function as a centralized entity in the Northeast Asia region. During the period between 1st century B.C. and 1st century A.D. aggressive regional expansion policy from the Koguryŏ made it possible to overcome its territorial limitations and weak economic basis. By the end of the 4th century A.D., Koguryŏ emerged as an empire that had acquired its own independent lebensraum in Northeast Asia. This research paper will delve into identifying actual founders of the Koguryŏ Dynasty and shed light on their lives prior to the actual establishment of the Dynasty. Then on, I will analyze the establishment process of Koguryŏ Dynasty. Thereafter, I will analyze the history of Koguryŏ Dynasty at three different stages: the despotic military state period, the period in which Koguryŏ emerged as an independent empire in Northeast Asia, and the era of war against the Sui and Tang dynasty. Upon completion of the above task, I will illustrate the importance of Koguryŏ history for Koreans. Finally, I attempt to unearth the real objectives why the Chinese academics are actively promoting the Northeast Asian Project. * Professor, Dept. of Liberal Arts, Kangnam University 2 History of Koguryŏ and China’s Northeast Asian Project The Yemaek tribe and their culture1 The main centers of East Asian culture in approximately 2000 B.C. were China - by this point it had already become an agrarian society - and the Mongol-Siberian region where nomadic cultures reign.

The NAPCC TA will undertake studies in three selected pilot sub-basins to develop strategic frameworks for addressing existing issues and likely scenarios of climate change. Framework planning would be applied to identify key issues, including surface, groundwater as well as the related water sectors including environment. The plans would set out broad strategies and programs to meet the needs of increased robustness and resilience of water systems against climate uncertainty, increasing water demand and environmental requirements. The pilot basins have been selected based on the type and likely degree of sensitivity to climate change. The basin selection should incorporate three major areas of concern: (i) alterations of winter snow-pack dynamics from climate change, (ii) basins or sub- basins where groundwater is major water source with issues and (iii) coastal areas where sea level rise will have impacts on surface and groundwater, together with increased flood risk. 2.

    Hydropower Generation, Flood Control and Cascade Effect: a National

    Hydropower generation, flood control and cascade effect: A national assessment for Vietnam Tien-Viet Nguyen PhD Candidate Department of Economics, University of Birmingham, UK ([email protected]) Prepared for The tenth Vietnam Economist Annual Meeting 2017 Abstract In this paper, we apply the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) discharge sim- ulation coupled with econometric methods to model the performance of hydropower plants on a national scale in Vietnam - a hydro-dependent country with a diversity of terrain and climate conditions. A watershed is formed from three large inter-boundary basins: Red River, Vietnam Coast and Lower Mekong River with a total area of 977,964 km2. These are then divided into 7,887 subbasins with a mean area of 131.6km2 (based on level 12 of HydroSHEDS/HydroBASINS datasets) and 53,024 HRUs. River flow is simulated for the 40 largest hydropower plants across Vietnam from 1995 to mid-2014, coinciding with the period when both power supply and power demand rose quickly and hydropower played a prominent role in the national power source. Simulated flow appears to be a good proxy for the inflow into hydropower dams and our baseline model is able to capture 87.7% of the variation in monthly generation. In the subsequent ex- tensions of our models, we find evidence of the flood control benefit and an existence of a cascade effect for electric dams with large reservoirs providing potential resilience to the national power supply when there are adverse impacts from climate change. How- ever the harmony among dams are found to be not uniform across basin.

    Moving the River? China's South–North Water Transfer Project

    Chapter 85 Moving the River? China’s South–North Water Transfer Project Darrin Magee 85.1 Introduction China is not a water-poor country. As of 1999, China’s per capita freshwater avail- ability was around 2,128 m3 (554,761 gallons) per year, more than double the internationally recognized threshold at which a country would be considered water- scarce (Gleick, 2006). The problem, however, is that there is no such thing as an average Chinese citizen in terms of access to water. More specifically, the geo- graphic and temporal disparity of China’s distribution of freshwater resources means that some parts of the country relish in (and at times, suffer from) an over-abundance of freshwater, whereas other parts of the country are haunted by the specters of draught and desertification, to say nothing of declining water quality. The example of China’s Yellow River (Huang He) has become common knowledge. The Yellow takes its name from the color of the glacial till (loess) soil through which it flows for much of its 5,464 km (3,395 mi) journey (National Bureau of Statistics, 2007). After first failing to reach the sea for a period during 1972, it then suffered similar dry-out periods for a portion of the year in 22 of the subsequent 28 years (Ju, 2000). The river so important for nurturing the earliest kingdoms that came to comprise China, once known as “China’s sorrow” because of its devastating floods, now has become a victim of over-abstraction, pollution, and desert encroachment, and a symbol of the fragility of the human-environment relationship on which our societies depend.
