New book: Innovations in Land, Water and Energy for Vietnam’s Sustainable Development
Published by admin on
eiLab research in the Red River basin as part of the IMRR project contributed a chapter in the new book Innovations in Land, Water and Energy for Vietnam’s Sustainable Development edited by M. Anderle (Embassy of Italy to Vietnam, Hanoi, Vietnam). This book presents recent innovative trends in land, water and energy management in Vietnam. The book presents the main projects and outcomes of a close collaboration between Italian and Vietnamese researchers. Our contribution illustrates a decision-analytic framework to support dam operators and policy makers in operating the Red River basin reservoir network under present and future climate forcing and multi-sector water demand. Our results show that conflicts across sectors are very likely to increase in the future, in particular exacerbating the food-flood tradeoff, and that dam re-operation and coordination are fundamental tools to mitigate the projected negative impacts of global change.
