Water quality of Co Chien estuary, Tien river

The Cuu Long delta is affected strongly by mass water from rivers of the MeKong river system such as Tieu, Dai, Ham Luong, Co Chien, Cung Hau, Dinh An and Tranh De (Hau river). The estuaries of Cuu Long delta are large with a huge amount of sediment (about 100 million tons per year) and high tide (about 4.2m) made the large tidal flats with high level of biodiversity, which is an important resource for aquaculture.
