Innovations in Land, Water and Energy for Vietnam's Sustainable Development

This book presents recent innovative trends in land, water and energy management in Vietnam. Presenting the main projects and outcomes of a close collaboration between Italian and Vietnamese researchers in the last three years, the book is divided into three main sections: environment, climate change and land management in Vietnam; energy for Vietnam; and cities and utilities in Vietnam. The first section focuses on water systems, including rivers and seacoasts, and on new growing methods for more sustainable agriculture. The second section addresses energy and wastewater. The country's rapid growth is a major challenge in terms of reinforcing the electrical infrastructures, and as such this section offers an overview of the government's planned measures and their impact on the Vietnamese power system. The third section highlights cities and utilities in the context of increasing urbanization, exploring the urban morphology of the Vietnamese metropolis, particularly Hanoi and Ho ChiMinh City.

Showcases advanced meteorological and hydrological models applied to a highly complex river basin to provide better flood forecasting Discusses the challenges that Vietnam's recent economic growth poses in terms of land, water and energy management, as well as the urban environment Examines climate change phenomena in Vietnam Presents advanced information and communication technologies as enablers of Vietnamese land and city innovative development and management
