Abstract

    In the recent years, in the central region in general and in the Ba River Basin in particular, riverbasin management has always been a hot issue not only for managers and operators but also for allthe people in the society. In the same river basin, there are many water resources managementagencies and different exploitation units, so there is always a dispute. To overcome the abovelimitations, the Government has continuously issued the inter-reservoir regulation in the Ba RiverBasin. The inter-reservoir regulations have not been optimized; its inadequacies are only visiblewhen encountered in specific operational situations, as evidenced many new regulations hascontinuously promulgated to replace the old ones. In order to have a more comprehensive and earlyview to evaluate the effectiveness of and to adjust, if necessary, the regulation, an adequateresearch should be made. For this reason, this study assesses of the effectiveness of the regulationNo. 878/QD-TTg and proposes a new operation option of reservoirs in the Ba river basin inaccordance with reality.
