Swan predictions of nearshore wave climate at Nam Dinh coast of Vietnam

Among a variety of elements, the nearshore wave elimate is considered to be the most important aspect to explain erosion problems along the coast. Oue to the fact that available data is limited, numerical models are valuable and necessary tools to apply. This study is initiated with the main objective to study the nearshore wave elimate of the...

Coastal protection of the Bạc Liêu province by rehabilitation of the mangrove forest

In the southern part of Vietnam, where the lower Mekong Delta is located, coastal erosion problems occur. In the Bạc Liêu province, one of the twelve provinces in the Mekong Delta, the width of the mangrove belt between the sea dyke and the sea is reduced by 100 m in the last four years. By rehabilitation of the mangrove forest, the hinterland...

A first calibration of the one-dimensional model of the Nhat Le River basin

This thesis provides a first draft of a one-dimensional model of the Nhat Le River Basin. The model is almost ready for use due to the short period of time. The model requires at least an adequate calibration before using. With this thesis a first start has been made. Eventually, with the model, the probability of water levels in the Nhat Le...

Design of a pilot dike on Cat Hai Island

Master project report. On behalf of, and in cooperation with the TU Delft and the MARD-CWRCT two dike designs are made for a pilot project on Cat Hai Island. Two different types of revetments are used, namely the Dutch block type revetment Basalton and the classic rip-rap revetment. The designs are based on the available boundary conditions, the...

The Framework for Integrated Water Management in the Thua Thien-Hue Province

The Thua Thien-Hue province is located in the centre of Vietnam. It is characterized by the short distance between the mountains in the west and the coast of the South China Sea in the east. Two large rivers flow through the province, fed by multiple smaller rivers from the mountains. The Bo River flows through the northern part of the province...

Coastal erosion along Cua Dai beach in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Design of the Muong Chuoi Barrier

Ho Chi Minh City has to deal with severe flooding in the rainy season. To prevent the city from this flooding, MARD set up plan 1547. The main idea of the plan is to build a ring dike around HCMC in combination with several movable tidal barriers. One of these barriers is the Muong Chuoi Barrier. In this report a conceptual design of the Muong...

Polder system Can Tho City: Impact of the urban polder on Can Tho City

Vietnam is one of the five countries that is severely affected by the consequences of climate change. The extreme weather conditions and the increase of the sea level results in floods in the Mekong Delta, located in the South of Vietnam. Can Tho city, found in the heart of the Mekong Delta, is one of the cities that copes with water related...

Feasibility study of flushing To Lich River with Red River water through West Lake

The goal of this study is to examine the feasibility of this solution, from a water quality and hydraulic point of view. Firstly, the current state of the three water bodies was investigated and a stakeholder analysis was conducted to look into the social and political context. Secondly, the effect of the solution on the water quality in the WL...

Assessment of the Current and Future Saltwater Intrusion Into the Cai River in Nha Trang, Vietnam

Project Hue: Report and field study on the water related problems and solutions in and around the Cau Hai lagoon and the Tu Hien inlet, Vietnam

The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon system, lying in the Thua Thien-Hue province in central Vietnam, is affected by a tropical monsoon climate. This among others is the reason the Cau Hai Lagoon area has a long history of floods and other water related problems. Inhabitants are very dependent on the lagoon, as the main sources of income of people...
