Impacts assessments of Dam development on flow, sediment, and salinity intrusion into Vietnamese Mekong Delta

Flow and sediment budgetof the Mekong River (MR)is of typical importance for the sustainability and survivability of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) in the context of sea level rise due to climatic change. The VMD is sinking and shrinking due to rapidly morphologicaldegradation caused byaltered flow regime and reduced sediment supply from the MR as the result of upstream hydropower dams’ development
