Developing a closed - loop water management system with climate change impacts adaptation in Ben Tre province

Abstract

The closed-loop water management model is a system for managing water resources through reuse and circulation, aimed at minimizing loss, pollution, and waste (Grigg, 2008; GWP, 2000). At the same time, it helps address water scarcity issues in Ben Tre amid increasingly complex and unpredictable climate change impacts. Therefore, it is essential to orient water resource management solutions for surface water along both short-term and long-term routes (Butterworth et al., 2010). By using synthesizing, analyzing, and inheritinginformation and data from various sources, surveys, and monitoring activities of the province to utilize this model to address Ben Tre’s current problems. This model enables the spatial utilization and exploitation of available water components to meet three requirements: total water volume, the capacity for extraction and use across multiple needs, and quality assurance of water sources for each usage purpose (domestic usage, industrial production, agricultural production, and aquaculture)(Biswas, 2008; Srinivasan et al., 2012). Therefore, in addition to reviewing, evaluating, and analyzing water mangagement related infrastructure systems (such as hydraulic infrastructure), salinity monitoring and warning infrastructure, and updating irrigation and water resource planning for each region, it is essential to propose an integrated surface water resource management model for Ben Tre, along with the necessary tools for effective practical implementation.
