TAILIEUCHUNG - The science foundation for the establishment cooperation mechanism on trans-boundary water management

In this article, the current CMs between the two countries are presented to clarify the implementing status, effective and coherent level of the trans-boundary water management (TWM). From that, some recommendations will be proposed to set up a new CM closed with TWM for the boundary provinces in MD. | 61 Nong Lam University, Ho Chi Minh City The science foundation for the establishment cooperation mechanism on trans-boundary water management Bui Viet Hung and Nguyen Ngoc Diep University of Science, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Research Paper The Mekong Delta (MD) is of socio-economic importance for both Vietnam and Cambodia. The trans-boundary dimension and respective management issues are highly relevant for the economic development and security of each country. Because the economic development of each country is different in the boundary region of MD, there are many kinds of natural hazard occurred in MD (including flood, drought, acid sulphate soils, and saltwater intrusion), the impact of upstream development, a myriad of flood controlling infrastructure, and the implications of climate change. To resolve these above problems and maintain the boundary security condition, the two countries are implementing many cooperation and coordination mechanisms (CMs) at central and provincial levels. In this article, the current CMs between the two countries are presented to clarify the implementing status, effective and coherent level of the trans-boundary water management (TWM). From that, some recommendations will be proposed to set up a new CM closed with TWM for the boundary provinces in MD.

Introduction and they still not have a solution or still not have solved to cause many misunderstanding and complex for each other. To better manage the shared resources in the Mekong Delta, Cambodia and Vietnam work together to develop joint planning and harmonised mechanisms for the management of water resources through a bilateral project supported by the Mekong River Commission (MRC).
