Description
The IWRM Atlas "Planning Maps and Tables" reports results of the method (Planning and Decision Support Tools) developed within the German-Vietnamese joint R&D project "Integrated Water Resources Management in Vietnam" (IWRM-Vietnam), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). On a regional scale, Planning and Decision Support Tools are used to identify areas of high water-related problem intensities within a river basin:
- The Water Balance Tool is utilized to record, assess and predict water demands contrasted with the quantity of water resources.
- The sensitivity of water resources and the contamination potential of polluters are combined to display water quality aspects within the Contamination Risk Tool.
- A resulting evaluation is carried out with the Ranking Tool. It identifi es areas with priority need for action.
Based on these three tools, the atlas provides water resources planning maps for three different regions of Vietnam (project areas): Red River part basin (Province Nam Dinh), Upper Dong Nai Basin (Province Lam Dong) and Cuu Long part basin (City Can Tho).
The atlas shows results of the developed methods for the analysis of the water resources on a river basin scale for the three exemplary project areas. The developed methods are documented in the publication: "Method Handbook for IWRM in Vietnam on River Basin Level" (ISBN 9 783944 451022).
