The province of Ca Mau is the southernmost part of Vietnam and the Mekong Delta. The water system of Ca Mau faces multiple challenges, both in its coastal zone and in its inland regions. the coastal zone in the province. In view of this, this study presents an integrated approach for combined coastal and inland water management in Ca Mau, under the scope of climate and socio-economic change. Firstly, an extensive literature study is performed on the current status of both the coastal zone and the inland water system. The objective of this study is to identify measures that contribute to a realization of a sustainable, durable environment that satisfies the protection and the socioeconomic needs of the inhabitants in the province of Ca Mau, in which coastal engineering, (inland) water management and land use can be integrated. In order to reach that identification, a holistic analytical approach that couples water engineering knowledge, systems modeling, horizon scanning and strategic analysis needs to be used; a second objective of this study is to formulate the right set of tools for this task and demonstrate their use, so that they can be adapted in a larger context in the future, beyond this study, both within Ca Mau but also in cross-provincial studies.
