1 Introduction

The present draft investment roadmap for water-related development has been prepared byDepartment of Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE), Quang Nam Province, in

collaboration with officials from Quang Nam Province and Da Nang City, and other stakeholders.

The present version incorporates guidance received during a stakeholder consultation workshop inHoi An in September 2010.

A basin profile is being prepared as a separate document.

2 Background

2.1 Water utilization

The water resource must be used for many purposes, including industries and agriculture. In the

process of exploiting and using water, we need to consider and evaluate the two way impacts inthis complex process.

2.2 Sustainability

Sustainability is expressed in several ways:

• The sustainability in economy is expressed through the healthy growth and development of the economy, hereby improving the living standard of people.

• The sustainability in society is showed through the status of people’s health, reducedpoverty and reduced social evils.

• The sustainability in environment is seen through reasonable use of water, maintaining thequality, quantity of water resources, and reduced environmental pollution.

2.3 Efficient and economical water utilization

Exploiting and using water resources must be considered reasonably in term of quality and quantityof water, right requirements, and the right time to ensure the efficiency and economy. Under thepoint of view “Water as special good”, using water economically and efficiently is not only theresponsibility of water users for financial contribution (and compensation for damages if they pollutethe water), but also reflects the important role of water resource to society.

2.4 Institutional reform (Decree 120)

Decree No. 120/2008 on River Basin Management was passed by MONRE in December 2008. Inthis decree, the VGTB Basin is classified as a 'big river basin', with a particular nationalsignificance, and placed under the direct authority of MONRE.

The Decree specifies basin-level management tasks, to be undertaken by an RBC, includingsurveys and development planning. Please refer to Appendix B for a summary.

3 Economic development targets

3.1 Over-all targets

Da Nang City and Quang Nam Province strive for an average economic growth level of about 13-13.5 percent per year in 2010-2015. Hereby, GDP per capita 2010 would reach 670-698 USD/per capita in 2010 and 1,395-1,500 USD/per capita in 2015. Exports would reach about USD 240million in 2010 and USD 350 million in 2015.

The economic structure is changing considerably. In 2010, the industry density accounts for 39%,the agro-forestry proportion makes up 23% and the service density is 38%. By 2015, the industry

Page 7: VGTB Roadmap 0b

8/7/2019 VGTB Roadmap 0b

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vgtb-roadmap-0b 7/27

2

density will be about 43-44%, trade service density will occupy for 41- 43%, and the agricultureagro-forestry proportion will make up 13- 16%.

3.2 Sector targets

• Cultivation: Stable growth at 3.5-4%/year. The following areas are planned:

Rice: from 30,000 – 35,000 ha, in which the area of high yield rice is about 15,000 ha,located in the coastal plain districts.

Maize: About 10,000-15,000 ha, in which hybrid maize makes up 80%.

Cassava: About 20,000 ha, concentrating in midland districts.

Sugar-cane: About 6,000 – 8,000 ha.

Cotton: widen the area to about 10,000 ha in plain districts such asĐiện Bàn, Duy Xuyên,Đại Lộc…

Pineapple: Forming centralized pineapple planting area in districts with the area of 4,000-4,500 ha

Groundnut: Maintaining an area of 10,000 ha, mainly in alluvial grounds along the riverside.

Cashew: Develop the area to 5,000 ha for exporting.

• Livestock: To develop livestock to a sector accounting for 50-55% of agricultural productvalue. It is planned to develop livestock and poultries as follows:

Cattle: To develop cattle breeding in mountainous and midland districts, striving for reaching320,000-350,000 heads.

Pigs: To develop the pig herd to the direction of leanization and super meat, estimating anincrease to 650,000-700,000 pigs.

Poultry: Develop household poultry rising all over the province.

• Aquaculture: Aquaculture will be developed as the tendency of industrialization. Raisingand planting area is 4,000 ha, in which the area for shrimp raising is 1,000 ha.

• Forestry: The general trend is: protecting, looking after the current forest, and speeding upplanting to enrich the source of forest. In 2015, the covering level of the forest will bereached to 48 % compared with 42 % for now. Particularly, we will protect 400,000 ha of current forest, reforest 22,000 ha and afforest 10,000 ha.

• Industrial development:  

- Speed up industrialization, modernization, strive for the general growth level of 20-22% per year, and contribute to GDP about 39%.

- Strongly develop some key industries, such as processing industry, garments (for export), food industry, ore mining, building materials.

- Plan to develop industrial zones with the total area of 12,365 ha.

• Trade and services: To be developed, boosting tourism services; aiming at a growth rate of 16-17% per year.

- Trade: Focus on developing importing–exporting service industries, material –technical & crop plants providing services, transportation services and other publicservices.

- Form commercial centers, such as: Ky Ha Commercial Port, Hoi An CommercialTourism Centre, Nam Giang Border Gate Commercial Zone, Tam Ky CommercialCentre.

- Tourism: Improve the tourism sites, including current cultural heritages such as: HoiAn ancient town, My Son Sanctuary ..., develop new tours and tourism sites such asKy Ha – Chu Lai, Phu Ninh Lake - Ke Tan.

4 Basin-level IWRM targets

4.1 Clean water and sanitation

The Water Resource Law regulates the priority of ensuring tap water for people.

In urban areas, 65-70 % of citizens are provided with tap water. Up to 2020, it is expected that 90-100% of the population will be provided clean water with the average standard of 100-120litres/day. The urban sanitation and environmental conditions connect closely to the demand of water supply, including industrial and domestic waste water treatment, collecting and treatingsewage without polluting the groundwater.

In suburban and rural areas, today only 60% of the population benefit from clean water. Thetarget by 2020 is that 90-95 % of the countryside population will have access to clean water with astandard level of 60 litres/person/day.

4.2 Food security and socio-economic development

Ensuring water for agriculture has been and continues to be the top target. Generally, irrigation

targets are high because of a hot and sunny climate. For other water-dependent production systems, the target is to ensure water supply based on demand management at the river basinlevel.

4.3 Conservation of aquatic ecosystems

Aquatic ecosystems need to be researched in terms of biodiversity, water demand andenvironmental requirements. There is a need of monitoring and of preparing a strategy for conversation of aquatic ecosystems.

4.4 Preventing and minimizing bad impacts caused by water

The most serious impact caused by water is flooding. Preventing and remedying floodconsequences is one of missions of water resource management. General strategy of flood

prevention is to reinforce the constructions, improve the ability of flood discharge in delta river systems, enhance the ability of flood warning and forecast, well organize the life and production inflooding area to mitigate the damages.

Drought and salinity intrusion cause the shortage of freshwater in large scale in midland andcoastal plain. Researching to develop terrestrial plant and changing plant structure are strategicsolutions for water shortage areas.

4.5 Reasonable valuation of water

Today, public water services are subsidized by the Government budget at different levels.

According to the tendency of urban water supply development to 2020, urban water supply serviceswill no longer be subsidized gradually. Water prices will be counted exactly for covering investment

expenses. Urban water supply enterprises must be financial autonomous, implementing publicresponsibilities and social policies. Hence, according to this tendency, water is considered as socio-economic commodity.

In the national strategy to 2020 of clean water supply and rural sanitation, the principles are:Developing the internal power of rural people, boosting socialization in construction investment andmanagement, the users makes contribution to deciding a clean water supply that is suitable for their financial capacity.

For irrigation services, the Government has incentive policies in which the services will be re-organized to improve irrigation quality and manage sustainable facilities and water resources.

4.6 Integrated and coordinated water resources management

Water resources must be used for many different purposes at the same time. Integratedmanagement exploits most diversified potential of water resources. Water resources in the river basin must be managed following the integrated principle, not distinguishing between administration

levels, upstream and downstream, ensure equality in responsibility and benefits betweenorganizations and individuals at the same field.

5 IWRM in the Basin by 2020

5.1 Management targets

• To manage water resource to ensure water for people's welfare, economy, society,environment and flood prevention.

• To apply the river basin as a management unit.

• To increase people’s awareness about using water.

• To ensure that water services are operated efficiently.

5.2 Over-all water allocation

The following requirements must be observed:

- Adequate supplies of clean water for households.

- Ensure water for production and social development.

- Conserve aquatic ecosystems.

- Prevent and minimize negative impacts caused by water.

- Water must be valuated with a reasonable price.

- By broad cooperation, IWRM can be implemented efficiently and effectively.

- The water resources must be shared for common benefits.

5.3 Specific water allocation

Water for production 

Irrigation: 56,170 ha arable land in the basin with an irrigationfrequency of 75%

Aquaculture: 4,000 ha.

Poultry, livestock: According to the standard of household business

Industry: 310,000 m3/day

... including

Hoa Khuong area 24,000 m3/day

Small industrial zone in the upstream of Vu Gia –Thu Bon:

6,000m3/day

An Hoa – Nong Son: 80,000 m3/day

Dien Nam – Dien Ngoc – Hoa Khanh – Trang Nhatand some small industrial zones:

180,000 m3/day

Dong Thang Bing – Que Son industrial zone: 20,000 m3/day

Households 

Cities, towns and townlets: 90-100% of population have access to clean water 

Rural areas: 90-95% of population having access to clean water 

Water supply frequency for industries andhouseholds:

90%

Environmental flows in downstream parts 

To ensure the quality of water, the environment in the lowlands, and avoid saline intrusion, water pollution, exhaustion, and estuary filling in, it is necessary to have enough water to turn back the

natural flow in dry season from January to August. This amount of water is counted by the minimumamount of flow water per month:

In Vu Gia river at Ai Nghia gauging station: Q(90%) = 32.6m3/s

In Thu Bon river at Giao Thuy gauging station: Q(90%)= 41.0 m3/s

Damages caused by floods and drought 

Today, the exposure to floods, drought and saline intrusion is too high in the river basin of Vu Gia-Thu Bon. Structural and non-structural measures are required.

6 Vision for the VGTB basin

(To be further considered)

A healthy river basin, prospering from its rich resources, with access to water for those who need it for households, livelihoods and production, and protection against floods and drought 

7 Basin development goals and programmes

The following goals and supporting programmes are proposed for immediate to medium-termdevelopment:

Basin-level management arrangements (reflecting Decree 120) 

1 A Vu Gia-Thu Bon RBC

2 Surveys, knowledge base (including groundwater), development planning

Water security 

3 Safe water for households

4 Water for production and livelihoods

5 Storage capacity

6 Morphological management

7 Flood and drought management

A healthy river basin 

8 Water quality and aquatic habitats

9 Wastewater management

Please refer to Appendix D for an elaboration.

8 Next steps

The draft roadmap is expected to be discussed and upgraded at a 2nd consultation workshop.

Consider to identify a portfolio of fast-track projects: Clearly useful, low risk, uncontroversial, andsuited for immediate implementation.

Consider to identify a portfolio of high-impact projects with particular benefits, but perhaps in needof more preparations (such as consultations, and feasibility and impact studies).

Appendix A: Notes on roadmap formulation

A.1 Administrative framework

Background 

• There is a need to assign more professional staff and improve state management capacity on water resource for Department and Division of Natural resource and Environment around all districts/wards of Quang Nam province and Da Nang City. The organizational structure of Board of management to VuGia and Thu Bon river basin project are perfected while functions, regulations and activities are built toensure the management project effectively implemented by these organizations under Article 64 Lawon Water Resources.

• Legal documents on water resources are institutionalized and information is disseminated to raisepublic and other business and organizations awareness of their responsibilities in protecting andutilizing water resource. People are given favorable conditions to take part in these processes.

• Inspection and supervision are to be intensified over all activities of water utilization and wastewater treatment. The activities degrading water resource or polluting water environment are to be dealt withseverely. The projects on water utilization and wastewater discharge must be ensured to be licensed in

case of need.

• Basic surveys, inventory and assessment of water resources in the basins of Vu Gia-Thu Bon river areconducted. On that basic, plans and implementation methods of water utilization, exploitation andprotection in the river basins are built. Water regulation and allocation among sectors should be donewell to ensure the water resource to be used collectively. Water for living activities, important industrialand economic zones and high-valued production should be provided as a priority to ensure foodsecurity.

• Capital investment for water resource field should be prioritized and effectively used. Social investmentfor water utilizing and protecting activities should be mobilized. To facilitate this process, thesubsidization by State to water provision service is to be removed. Using economically, efficiently andreuse of water should be encouraged and popularized.

Recommendations 

• Project on organization of Management Board and Office of the new RBC must be implemented. After being ratified, administrative procedures should be finished to enable these bodies to performeffectively and to prepare the details of the river basin management plan.

• Infrastructure for department of river basins management in Quang Nam province and its branch in DaNang city should be more invested and funded.

• Detailed regulations of project implementation and collective utilization of water resource from river basins should be drafted and proclaimed. The General viewpoint about collective water utilization is tobe assumed during project approval.

• Plans of water resource allocation and protection as well as flood control as required and assigned inVietnam governmental Resolution number 120/2008/ND-CP on basin river management.

A.2 Overview of investment needs

Structural development 

• The current conservancy works such as reservoirs, dams, water-pumping points, saltwater-preventiondykes are continuously to be improved, to keep them safe during the rainstorm season and to providesufficiently water to cultivation and living activity during dry season.

• More new conservancy works are to be built to enlarge actively irrigated area, to prevent draught andsalt-water infiltration.

• Water supply projects for industrial and households are to be built.

• Reservoirs and dams in upstream area are to be built to control floods in lowlands.

• Embankments to be built continuously to keep river banks from breaking out and river or stream flowfrom altering.

• Ditches, drains and canals are to be dredged to ensure irrigating capacity of the network.

2 Building and approving task andproject of river basin planning

Task and project of river basin planninghave not been developed yet. Therefore,exploiting and using water resources inthe river basin have not met the requestof integrated exploitation, servingmultiple targets. The buildingconstructions mainly exploit water resource for each specific sector andfield. Serving for other targets is justassociated, causing water waste

Building task, project of planningriver basin as a basis for levels,economic sectors formingcomponent plans, plan for sub-regions.

Be a basis for appraising theplans of sub-basin within theriver basin in order to manageand exploit the water resourceseffectively.

3 Building the plan for allocatingthe river basin water resources

There has not been plan for allocatingthe water resources in the river basinwhile the situation shows that there aremany problems relating to request toplan allocation such as: diverting water inthe sub-basin, changing the flow in the

river system need coordination,allocation of water resources in the basinto meet the demand of water using of regions, economic sectors.

Estimating quantity and qualityof water resources, forecastingchanging tendency. Identifyingthe demand, setting the order of priority of water using for economic sectors like:

agriculture, hydroelectric,industry, tourism transportationand other socio-economicactivities. Maintain the minimumflow in the river. Identifying thedemand of water movingbetween basins in order to meetthe demand of serving sector and region economicdevelopment in the basin.

4 Making a coordination regulationbetween levels, sectors inplanning, designing andoperating sites exploiting water in the river basin.

Now, planning, designing, building andorganizing to operate projects thatexploiting and using water in river basinsuch as hydroelectric site, irrigationsystem, running water supplying

enterprise often aim to each specificsector. Because there is not any clear regulation on how to cooperate betweenlevels, sectors in integrated water exploitation and using, the process of integrated water exploitation and usingserving multiple targets is still limited.There is even contradiction in benefitbetween sectors and regions.

It is ensure that planning,designing, building, managingand operating water exploitationprojects in the river basin areassociated with principles of 

water resource exploitation andusing as follows:

- Exploiting integrated water resource, serving multipletargets.

- Using water resources inriver basin appropriately,economically.

- Ensuring the minimum flowin river system.

5 Assessing water environmentalstatus to plan of river basinwater resource protection.

The process of economic developmentof certain key sectors in river basin suchas: agriculture, industry, hydroelectric,trade, service, tourism...not only requirea very large amount of water but also

pollute the water environment. The resultof measurement in some locationsshows that the quality of surface water insub-basin urban has sign of reducing.

Due to terrain change in river-bed,stream-bed made the flow regimechange in a disadvantage way. The flowof some rivers and streams in thedownstream are degraded andexhausted which causes environmentalpollution.

Planning of river basin resourceprotection is to:

- Identify location, scope andlevel of pollution cause of pollution causing sources,regions of water resourcedegraded and exhausted.

- Access the quality of water resources, give solutions toprotect the water environment, recover polluted, degraded andexhausted water resources.

- Set up the networkmonitoring quality of water inthe river basin.

6 Increasing the forest fund andforest cover in the river basin.

The area of the protective forest in thebasin mainly focuses on themountainous areas of Quang Namprovince in which in the low mountainousarea most are exhausted due to war andexploitation, in the hill of middle land,

Well protect and care thecurrent forest. Speeding upreforestation and afforestation toenrich forest fund.

Appendix B: Decree 120/2008 on River Basin Management

The decree covers, among others:

Principles for river basin management (Article 4) 

The Decree promulgates an integrated, balanced water allocation within the basin and among various water uses, inter-agency collaboration, and due consideration to environmental health.

Classification of river basins (Article 6) 

The VGTB Basin is classified as a big river basin. The classification relates to the degree of decentralization(low for big basins), and the priority to investment and development (high for big basins)

Investment policies for sustainable development of river basins (Article 7) 

Investments are encouraged in basin-level surveys and planning; protection and sustainable development of water resources in river basins; and to combat harms caused by water.

Surveys of river basin environment and water resources (Chapter 2) 

MONRE, collaborating with other ministries and the PPCs, will undertake comprehensive baseline surveys of river basins and compile the findings in databases and information systems. The surveys will cover (amongothers) availability and quality of surface water and groundwater, wastewater disposal, and water-related risks.

River basin planning (Chapter 3) 

Basin-level plans must be prepared for water resources allocation; water resources protection; and disaster prevention, control and mitigation. For big basins, the detailed planning tasks are specified by MONRE.Planning may be conducted for entire basins or sub-basins. The plans are expected to be prepared every 10-15 years.

The planning will (among others) identify needs and objectives for water use and drainage, across sectors; theprotection of the aquatic environment; water withdrawals, utilization and development; and prevention andcontrol of water-related calamities. Both structural and non-structural developments will be considered.

Protection of the aquatic environment (Chapter 4) 

This includes control of pollution sources and protection of the water quality (Article 22); plans for water pollution prevention and control and rehabilitation of polluted water sources (Article 23); and response topollution incidents (Article 24)

Regulation and allocation of water resources and transfers of water (Chapter 5) 

This includes identification and maintenance of minimum flows (Article 25); and related regulation (Article 26)

International cooperation (Chapter 6) 

River basin coordinating organizations (Chapter 7) 

RBCs will be established for big river basins and inter-province river basins.

An RBC is composed of representatives of concerned ministries, branches, PPCs of a number of provinceslocated within the basin, and a number of entities that manage big water projects or utilities (if any) and isheaded by a Vice Minister of Natural Resources and Environment as its chairman.

The RBCs supervise and coordinate activities of concerned ministries, branches and localities in theimplementation of river basin plans; propose the promulgation of policies; and propose measures for protection of the aquatic environment; exploitation, utilization and development of water sources; as well asprevention, control and minimization of harms caused by water in river basins.

River basin management responsibilities (Chapter 8) 

Various responsibilities are held by MONRE; Ministry of Planning and Investment; Ministry of Finance; other ministries and ministry-level agencies; the PPCs; the National Water Resources Council; and the RBCs.

development of agricultural production systems and technology on the one hand and water availability and irrigation development on the other hand.

The demand for water for production other that agriculture is increasing and will continue toincrease for the foreseeable future. Often, it is seen that the value generated (per m3 of water) is (much) higher for productions other than agriculture.

Therefore, there is an increasing competition for a finite water resource. Some pressure can

be taken off this competition by steadily improving water efficiencies for all productionsystems.

Expected outputs 1) Recommendations on development of agricultural production systems

2) Recommendations on improved water efficiency in irrigation systems

3) Recommendations on support to water user organizations/cooperatives

4) Recommendations on financial sustainability/cost recovery and benefit-sharing

Strategic relationship This component is intended as a support to water security in the basin

Project description Improved efficiencies can be output per m3 of water; or value generated per m3 of water.Both considerations are relevant.

Measures to be considered for agriculture may include

• consultations with farmers and irrigation system operators;

• support to (gradual?) introduction of new production systems, perhaps includinglivestock, and increased diversification as appropriate;

• study visits (for owners and operators);• comparative benchmarkings of irrigation systems and water user associations; and

• technical and managerial strengthening of bridging institutions/mechanisms for readyaccess to (national and global) market information, scientific innovation, and positiveexperience from elsewhere.

Measures to be considered for industries may include

• promotion of best practices, for example by setting standards for new industries (thatcan adapt easier than exiting ones, and which will eventually gain a competitiveadvantage over more waste-prone ones);

• integrated demand regulation of water, energy and waste generation;

• implementation of licences and fees for water consumption (including groundwater),and sewage and solid waste disposal.
