Authors: Hoang Minh, Tuyen; Co-Author: 2010 (Base on Climate Change Scenarios (A2, B2, B1), simulation outputs of river flow show the changes of water resources in Ca River. These results are arguments for water resources planning in Ca River under the climate change situations.)
Authors: Tran, Thuc; Co-Author: 2010 (This study investigates impacts of climate change on water resource in the Huong River basin in the Central Vietnam. Hydrological responses of six climate change scenarios were calculated. Results reveal that climate change would cause significant increase in rainfall in wet season resulting in an increase in river flow. By contrast, the decreasing trend of river flow in dry season is a consequence of the decline of rainfall and increase of evapotranspiration under most scenarios. Sea level rise coupled with the lowering of river stages may exacerbate salinity intrusion. Impacts of climate change on socio-economic sectors such as agriculture, tourism, biodiversity, fishery and aquaculture are assessed, and adaptation options for Thua Thien - Hue Province are proposed.)
Authors: Tran Hong, Thai; Co-Author: 2010 (Rapid socio–economic development leads to a great increase in water demand of many sectors and conflicts between water users. Moreover, studies have warned about serious degree of influence of climate change (CC) on Vietnam, particularly on the water resources. Therefore, assess CC impacts on water balances are very necessary task. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has completed the appropriate climate change scenarios in Vietnam [1]. In this study, water balance results will be presented including three scenarios: high emissions scenario (A2), medium emission scenario (B2), and low emission scenario (B1). The water balanced in Hong-Thai Binh river basin was calculated, which is one of the largest basins in Vietnam. The basin is very complicated: Under the influence of flow regime of international rivers [2], a system of reservoirs and irrigation structures serving diverse purposes, such as of water supply, irrigation, flood control and hydropower [3-5]. MIKE BASIN model was applied to describe exploitation, utilization and to identify the water shortage areas according to the climate change scenarios.)
