Nâng cao chất lượng quy hoạch thuỷ lợi góp phần đảm bảo an ninh nguồn nước, chủ động ứng phó với biến đổi khí hậu

Abstract

Water resources planning are the arrangement of hydraulic works in river basins in order to enhance positive effects and minimize negative impacts of water to social economic life.

Water resources planning has played an important role in the process of development of the country, especially over the past 60 years. Most of the major hydraulic and hydropower projects in the country are the results of the plannings such as the large reservoirs of Hoa Binh, Son La, Thac Ba, Tuyen Quang, Lai Chau, Ban Chat,... in the North, the large hydroelectric reservoirs in the Central region, the great irrigation system in the Mekong Delta.

However, water resources planning currently faces many major challenges such as global climate change, transboundary upstream impacts, water pollution, and the requirement of multi-objectives in the planning process. These challenges require changes in water resources planning. Solutions for the changes include innovating methodology in planning process, applying science and technology in planning, training solutions, and adjusting and supplementing human resources to serve the planning
