Key Issues and
Challenges in
the Mekong
Delta
the Mekong Delta is formed
by the nine arms of the Mekong
River, which all drain into the
South China Sea. It comprises an
area of 40,000 km2 and offers
natural resources for over 17
million inhabitants living in 13
of the 58 provinces of Vietnam
(figure 1).
frequent floods and droughts,
limited availability of drinking
water, increasing water pollution, and loss of species and
habitats, such as the decrease of
mangrove ecosystems, all have
negative effects on people’s
lives. Strong population pressure
and the first impacts of climate
change pose increasing challenges for the population of this fast
developing region, and hence for
the planning authorities in the
delta.
rise induced saltwater intrusion
and soil salinization leading to
a decrease in agricultural yields
and to an expected increase in
tropical storms, and, generally,
strong population and economic
growth leading to more pressure
on natural resources and the
livelihood of the population.
national and regional authorities face the problem of ensuring the sustainable management
of land and water resources in
the Mekong Delta. thus, a key
aspect for planning authorities is
the generation and distribution
of water–related information for
the delta.
though people have adapted
for centuries to seasonal flooding in the delta, they are facing
numerous challenges which
are constantly intensifying.
Amongst them are an increase
in the number of extreme floods,
expanded drought periods, accelerating water pollution, sea level

WISDOM is a bilateral, multidisciplinary research project
involving Germany and Vietnam
(figure 2). the German side is
funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research,
bMbf, the Vietnamese side
by the respective counterpart,
MOSt. the main project goal is to
design and implement a comprehensive information system tool
which supports regional government agencies in the Mekong
Delta in their planning processes
to develop the region and adapt
to climate change.

In the first project phase
(2007 – 2010) a prototypical
Water- and Land-Information
System was developed. Information System is a technical term
describing a knowledge cluster
built up from different research
fields within the project plus a
physically existing web-based
information system. In the
WISDOM Information System,
data and information from project disciplines like hydrology,
geochemistry, socio-economics,
geography, and earth observation are constantly integrated.

the potential user is not only
able to visualize all this information but can use it to analyze
special Mekong Delta related
questions as well.
In the second project phase
(2010 – 2013) the project network
comprises seven German and
eight Vietnamese research institutions, six German small- and
medium-size enterprises as well
as eleven associated partners.
there are two major goals for
this second phase. first, there is
the challenge to answer numerous research questions related to
climate change as well as land
and water management, which
is being addressed by numerous
senior scientists as well as 14
PhD students in research topics
from disciplines such as environmental science, remote sensing,
GIS, hydrologic modelling,
socio-economics, climate change
resilience and adaptation, etc.
Secondly, the WISDOM Information System is to be implemented in Vietnam. Capacity building
activities are carried out jointly
by project partners, stakeholder
and users to achieve sustainable
knowledge dissemination as
well as the long-term use of the
system.

the focus is on employing opensource technologies in order
to satisfy current Vietnamese
government It strategies, reduce
installation costs and permit
further adaptations to meet
necessary project requirements.

application. the main idea is that
combining historical and nearreal-time data from different
science fields will facilitate user
analysis of water related question (for example, “how does

of the project, the data integration process is fully automated
to enable partners to import or

End users can directly access
the functions of the WISDOM
Information System via the
Internet using standard browser
software. In addition, the implementation of services compliant with OGC (Open Geospatial
Consortium) standards provides
access to WISDOM components
and data even for those using
non-WISDOM software. because
of this compliance with open
standards the WISDOM Information System can integrate new
data sources easily and play
a major role in establishing a
Vietnamese spatial data infrastructure.
how can the
success of the
WISDOM
Information
System be
ensured?
building both capacity and
acceptance are important tasks
extending beyond the technical
development of an information
system. there have been several
activities, still ongoing, between

using earth observation
based on satellite imagery is a
cost effective way to map large
areas of the earth’s surface
(figure 7) while at the same time
monitoring the dynamics over
time. Satellite-based imaging
sensors visualize the surface in
spectral ranges beyond what
the human eye can see. Socalled passive sensors measure
reflected sunlight in the optical
and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Active
sensors utilize their own source
of radiation, for example in the

the German Aerospace
Center (DLR) in close cooperation
with the university of Würzburg
is synergistically utilizing passive and active satellite imagery
from a variety of sensors to
derive land cover and land use
information at different spatial
scales for the entire Mekong
basin and the Mekong Delta,
and at especially high scales for
priority areas. Such information
products have been generated
for different periods over recent
decades, allowing an analysis
of changes in the investigated
areas. they are valuable input
for detecting natural changes, for
example, those caused by floods
and storms, and understanding the adaptation strategies
of the population over recent
decades, like urbanization or
agricultural intensification. the

team of Würzburg-DLR and the
EOMAP company in cooperation with the GIS and Remote
Sensing Research Center (VAStGIRS) are utilizing active radar
imagery and passive optical
images, respectively, to continuously map inundated areas in
the Mekong basin and Delta to
obtain time series of so-called
water masks which trace the
flooding occurring primarily during the wet seasons (figure 9).
EOMAP has high expertise in

accomplish this, products are
constantly validated in the field

Within WISDOM, the hydrology Section of the GfZ, the
German Research Centre for
Geosciences, develops monitoring stations for water level,
suspended sediment concentrations, and other water quality
related parameters like temperature, ph-value and electric conductivity (figure 14). the aim of
the stations and the monitoring
scheme implemented in a test

(Dong thap province in the Plain
of Reeds in the Mekong Delta)
is the quantitative monitoring

of the inundation dynamics
in the flood season in both the
channels and the floodplain. the
second aspect —the floodplain—
is a novelty, as floodplain processes are hardly ever monitored
worldwide, despite their high
relevance in various areas like
agriculture, flood management
and mitigation planning, and
hydrodynamic modeling. the
stations are designed to operate
autonomously without external
power supply and frequent control. GfZ also develops prototype
river buoys equipped with GPS
for continuously recording water
level and water movement
(figure 15). this novel inland
monitoring technique provides
solutions for large inland water
bodies where standard monitoring is difficult. It also offers
additional monitoring options
like movement velocities and
flow direction changes. Within
the project frame of WISDOM the
data are used for detailed calibration of hydrodynamic models of
the investigation areas in tam
nong and the whole Mekong
Delta downstream of Kratie in
Cambodia, thus including the
tonle Sap lake system. the latter
models were developed in close
cooperation with SIWRR, the
Southern Institute of Water Resources Research. these models
will in turn be used for planning
tasks which include planning
flood defense structures and
the operation of sluice gates
and pumps, as well as for a first
time quantification of nutrients
carried in flood sediment which
enter fields on the floodplains.

Objectives
the objective of this work
package is to conduct vulnerability and risk assessments for
water-related hazards in the
Mekong Delta and to evaluate
resulting adaptation options.
Vulnerability related information as well as assessment and
evaluation guidelines are fed
into the WISDOM Information System. In order to allow
for proactive integrated water
resources management, there is
great need to understand how
vulnerabilities to water-related
hazards emerge and how they

differ among various socioeconomic groups as well as with
respect to different types of
hazards, such as floods (figure
20), salinization, water scarcity,
storms and river bank erosion.
based on this knowledge, different strategies for adaptation are
evaluated in collaboration with
relevant stakeholder groups in
Vietnam and the development of
innovative adaptation strategies
integrating formal and informal
mechanisms is promoted (figure
21). In order to capture the different biophysical and socio-
economic settings within the
Mekong Delta, rural and urban
profiles are compared among the
case study provinces Dong thap
(rural, prone to annual flooding),
Can tho (urban and peri-urban,
tidal and urban flooding) and
tra Vinh (rural, salinization and
coastal storms).

System
the vulnerability assessment
contributes a variety of data sets
to the WISDOM Information
System combining assessment
findings from social as well as
engineering sciences. based
on in-depth interviews and a
household survey in three case
study areas (covering roughly
1400 households), vulnerability
profiles are developed which are
represented in schematic figures
highlighting archetype vulnerability pathways as well as in
maps showing the spatial distribution of the main vulnerability
parameters, hence allowing for
the identification of vulnerability hotspots and priority areas
for action (figure 22). based on
hydrological modelling, flood
hazard maps will be generated
and combined with physical
asset and vulnerability maps to
derive flood loss maps and aggregated risk maps. this cascading combination of data sets
and maps allows the user of the
WISDOM Information System
to access information at various
levels of aggregation (ranging
from single components such as

case study area all the way to the
comprehensive and aggregated
risk maps which merge physical
hazard scenarios with socio-economic vulnerabilities).
On the basis of the knowledge generated through these
assessment techniques, a comprehensive (digital) handbook
with quality criteria for different adaptation options is being
developed. In addition, checklists
are provided which compare the
advantages and disadvantages
of different adaptation options
(for example, the erection of a
dyke system vs. resettlement for
a given community) and which
help to assess the feasibility of
potential options.
