*"Need Assessment Workshop on trans-boundary water allocation and
monitoring tools in Vietnam"*
*Hội thảo giới thiệu công cụ giám sát và phân bổ nguồn nước liên tỉnh liên
quốc gia ở Việt nam*
*Monday 02 July 2018, NAWAPI, Hanoi*
Background
Water resource availability in Viet Nam is heavily concentrated within
transboundary basins. The sustainable management of this resource has
direct implication for economic growth and the provisioning of ecosystem
services. Agriculture accounts for almost 80 % of available surface water
use. Rapid economic development brings with it changes in land-use,
increasing urbanization, infrastructure development, migration patterns and
climate risk, which are increasing other sectoral water demand. Increasing
demands on water from different sectors, growing water scarcity and climate
variability have necessitated improved allocation strategies. Allocation of
water resources between and within different sectors and for different
uses, is one of the biggest challenges confronting planners of water
resource management. The complexities are further increased when
considering the water-food-energy-ecosystems interdependencies. Tools and
approaches to create a common baseline in terms of understanding current
water availability, use and tradeoffs as well as future scenarios are
needed to support decision making on appropriate policies, strategies and
planning for sustainable water resource management.
Water resource models have been used for planning purposes to assess the
impacts of various decisions, policy and scenarios on wide ranging
components of water management that include water availability, allocation,
ecological restoration, managing complex regional systems to name a few.
However, much of the technical complexity associated with the application
of these models are largely confined to skilled personnel in the field of
water management who are required to communicate these impacts to a
diversity of stakeholders of varying technical capacity higher and lower in
the administrative hierarchy (from decision makers to the field
professional). The commercial nature of some of these models restrict their
availability and usage for planning purposes owing to the expense of
licensing the software platforms. The era of cloud-based platforms opens
new avenues for water professionals to create simplified scenario
assessment platforms linking with the modelling system embedded in web
servers that provides easy accessibility and use. In addition, the web
interface can be customized to suit the needs of different stakeholders in
the modelled area to access relevant information of varying complexity.
The SERVIR-Mekong project, a regional initiative supported by USAID and
NASA, implemented by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) is
developing geospatial and modelling tools to support national agencies. As
a part of its effort to support water management efforts in the Lower
Mekong region, SERVIR-Mekong in collaboration Vietnam International Water
Week VACI2019, an International water partnership initiative at NAWAPI/
Ministry of MONRE is organizing this workshop to scope the need for a
potential integrated water allocation and scenario assessment tool in
Vietnam. The tool will support key agencies involved in water resources
management to understand and explore the complexity of river basin under a
wide range of scenarios. This workshop will discuss currently used tools
for assessing water allocation practices in Viet Nam and explore the need
for introducing web-based water allocation platforms in key pilot
catchments. Case studies of existing model tools in Vietnam catchments will
be presented, collaborative model studies will be explored and a prototype
tool from SERVIR-Mekong proposed for water allocation strategies will be
demonstrated. Participants will be invited to share experiences, identify
good practices and lessons learned, and formulate questions and needs
thereby informing likely future work on water allocation.
Time & Venue: Monday 02 July 2018, Room 205, NAWAPI Headquater, No 93 Lane
95 Vu Xuan Thieu, Sai Dong Long Bien Hanoi
The workshop objectives are to
· Understand the mechanisms and tools for trans-boundary water
resources monitoring and allocation planning tools in Viet Nam.
· Present case studies from Viet Nam catchments involving complementary
approaches/ tools for trans-boundary water resources monitoring and
allocation tools.
· Identify good practices, lessons learned and formulate future
scenarios for trans-boundary water resources monitoring and allocation.
· Demonstrate a prototype tools to stakeholders and receive feedback
for collaborative case studies and improvements
Expected outputs
· Sharing currently-used tools at agencies for water resources
monitoring and allocation.
· User feedback on current prototype interface and future
improvements of the tool developed by SERVIR Mekong (SEI)
· Identify needs and utility of the proposed tool to support decision
making process and exploring opportunities for possible collaboration
related to the tools in Vietnam basins.
Target participants
· Regulators and officials for related Ministries and associations
e.g. MONRE, MoC, MARD, Provincial offices.
· Public and private enterprises and Industry experts- Water
Suppliers, EPC’s, Heavy Industry, financing etc.
· Academia and researchers
· Others – i.e. Diplomatic corps, Companies other than the ones
mentioned in article
