Abstract

Drought is one of natural disasters occurring in everywhere event in high or low rainfall areas, also in dry and rainy season and it tends to increase in the future. In Vietnam in general and in South Centre and Highland region in particular, drought happens very often and just after after the storm and floods with trend to be more serious due to the impacts of climate change extreme events. Over the years, Vietnam has made a lot of efforts in the implementation of drought adaptation and management measures, especially in the application of advanced tools for dorought monitoring and forecasting as well as application of modern technology for real time monitoring in the reservoirs and important water distribution points to prepare for drought, water shortage. These efforts, however, are not sufficient to ensure effective response to the immediate and potential impacts of drought. Therefore, it is neccessary to apply science and technology in response actively to drought including drought forcasting and early warning, developing drought scenarios, drought damage assessment, a list of priorityand integrated measures to minimize the effects of drought, and in particular the impact of drought on water supply for agricultural production. This paper will present some tools and results of scientific and technological application which have been piloted in some provinces in the South Central and Central Highlands provinces in responding to drought for agriculture production.
