This book about the Mekong Delta presents a unique collection of
state-of-the-art contributions by international experts from
different scientific disciplines about the characteristics and
pressing water-related challenges of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.
The Mekong Delta belongs to one of the areas, which are to expect
the largest challenges concerning environmental change and climate
change induced sea level rise . The Delta acts as the "rice bowl"
of Southeast Asia and is home to over 17 Million people, who need
to cope with ecologic as well as socio-economic changes linked to
the rapid economic development of the country. Annual floods,
severe droughts, salt water intrusion, degrading water quality,
tropical cyclones, hydrologic changes due to hydropower projects in
the upstream of the Mekong, coastal erosion, and the loss of
biodiversity are some of the problems in the region. Heterogeneous
resource management responsibilities, and the fact that the Mekong
- and thus also the Delta - is influenced by six countries
aggravate the situation. Integrated water resources management and
fostered cooperation and information exchange are pressing needs
for the sustainable development of the Delta.
