Farmers pocket how much profit from the cultivated area, the yield after each season. It is necessary to link and do cooperative economy to develop, to be able to turn quickly and promptly. In the past, we have made the master plan and investment in infrastructure, but with the Resolution 120 / NQ-CP of the Government on sustainable development of the Mekong Delta, it is necessary to have a detailed plan for each ecological sub-region.

According to information at the meeting, Ca Mau province is preparing a project calling for investment in building Hon Khoai deep-water port, an international transshipment seaport capable of receiving ships of 250,000 tons, the capacity through the port is 40 million tons / year, and is the main way of circulation serving goods. Ca Mau expects that, when there is a deep-water port, the surrounding area will form and develop industrial zones and clusters, helping to create jobs for people in the area. Concerned about this issue, KS Doan Manh Dung (Ho Chi Minh City Association of Marine Economic and Science), said that water transportation is the optimal transport system for the Mekong Delta because it has a river density of 0.68 km / km2. is a rare high density river in the world. Years ago, there was an idea proposing to build gateway ports for the Mekong Delta on offshore islands such as Con Dao, Hon Khoai, Nam Du. Up to now, in recent years, Ca Mau continues to want to be Hon Khoai deep-water port. However, right from the time the proposed idea was given above, KS Doan Manh Dung made a speech and stated that it is not feasible to make Hon Khoai port because it is wrong in principle. Hon Khoai is more than 6 nautical miles from the mainland Accordingly, in theory the formation and existence of a port has the following principles: A port exists only when the total cost of transport routes behind the port plus costs at the port plus the total cost of the routes. freight forward port is the least. If there is another port with less total cost, the previous port will not exist. He cites 3 examples to support this principle: First, the old Saigon port exists thanks to the total cost of transportation routes from the western and eastern provinces plus the cost of constructing and operating Saigon port and the costs of routes from Saigon port. the places are the least. The reason is that river ships from places to Saigon port are convenient, Sai Gon port has natural depth, the channel for large ships from the sea to enter Saigon port is not dredged. Those factors help shape the old Saigon city. Second, Vietnam used to plan to build Ke Ga port to export aluminum oxide. But at Ke Ga location, there are not enough natural factors for port. If you want to do it, you must invest in building a windbreak system and creating artificial depths. So the cost will be extremely large. Therefore, Ke Ga port project had to be canceled. Third, in the past, Hoi An was a good port. But when it was filled up and the demand for draft of the ship increased, the cost of maintaining the depth was so great that Hoi An became the museum today From here, KS Doan Manh Dung assessed that if you choose Hon Khoai or Con Dao as a port, it is convenient for ships to arrive at the port, but river ships from inland water to the island in the middle of the sea must upgrade from river ships to ships. coastal run, not to mention other issues. “Vietnam must upgrade all ships running in rivers to ships that can run at sea so that river ships can go to Hau river mouth at Tran De estuary and go back to Hon Khoai. This cost is not small for poor countries like Vietnam. This improvement will increase the total post-port costs plus the cost at the port and the pre-port costs will increase. Then, unable to compete with another port appeared with lower total costs. It is important to have a suitable port that can accommodate river ships and seagoing ships and the cost of construction and maintenance of the port is low, “said KS Doan Manh Dung. According to the expert, if opening a river connecting Hau river through Ca Mau to Hon Khoai port, this cost is not small, but will lose land and increase salinity for the Mekong Delta. If building the road from Ca Mau to Hon Khoai land to use road, we will deny the advantage of waterway transport of Mekong Delta. He also noted that the design of Hon Khoai port has not been discussed here with major shortcomings. That is the model of Hon Khoai port that will be alluvial from the north to quickly install the door into the water area of ​​the port. With a counter-clockwise cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere, the water area of ​​the port was exposed. “This model is the porting mindset of Australia in the southern hemisphere where the cyclone is clockwise. The consultant lacks understanding of the local laws of nature,” said KS Doan Manh Dung. said and suggested the policy of building Hon Khoai port should be reconsidered. “Every province has aspirations, but that aspiration must be based on the natural characteristics of that region”, he emphasized and cited for example, the Japanese documents show that the mouth of Ganh Rai bay has a water line – 9.5m to -11m. However, increasing the depth of the mouth of Ganh Rai bay to bring large ships into Cai Mep-Thi Vai port is a big financial challenge. A lesson summed up by countries around the world is that when the natural draft of the port is too small, the investment value increases according to the Parapol line when the draft increases. Meaning that to fight nature, the budget for maintaining the port depth is immense beyond the reach of a poor country.

According to the National Center for Socio-Economic Information and Forecasting (Ministry of Planning and Investment), the Mekong Delta is the largest agricultural production region of our country, playing an important role in the national economy, especially is in ensuring national food security. However, the Mekong Delta is a coastal lowland area, so every year, the sea water intrudes deeply into the mainland. Saline intrusion is a big challenge in the Mekong Delta. Photo: VGP This phenomenon appears cyclical and usually occurs sharply in the dry season months, from November to May every year. Saline intrusion is often affected by a number of factors such as flow from upstream to the Mekong Delta; flows in rivers, canals in interior fields; the tidal regime in the Mekong Delta; climate change, human impacts in water exploitation and use. In the past 6 years, the Mekong Delta has experienced two record saline intrusion waves, with intense and fierce intensity in 2015/2016 and 2019/2020, leading to a shortage of fresh water. wide, seriously affecting production and people’s daily life … In the dry season 2020/2021, saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta is higher than the average for many years, but not as serious as the dry season in 2019/2020, but the situation is also quite complicated. Up to the end of February 2021, in the Mekong Delta, there appeared 3 times of high saline intrusion, the salinity boundary 4g / l in Vam Co Dong river and Vam Co Tay river is 30-32km lower than the same period in 2020; the 4g / l salinity boundary in the estuaries of the Mekong River is 5-25km lower than that of the same period in 2020; The salinity boundary of 4g / l on Cai Lon river is 10-13km lower than that of the same period in 2020. Salty drought has damaged many areas of rice, fruit trees, aquaculture and vegetables, both agricultural production activities and daily life of the people are negatively affected. Saline intrusion combined with water shortage due to the effects of the saline drought season in 2019/2020 makes the total flow to be less than the average for many years and agricultural production is seriously affected. An estimated 40,000 ha of fruit trees (Tien Giang 19,000 ha, Ben Tre 15,000 ha, Vinh Long 1,800 ha, Soc Trang 3,400 ha) and about 5,000 ha of rice in Tra Vinh province have a shortage of irrigation water. With people’s lives, drought also makes many households seriously lack of water for daily use, even water supplied from clean water plants in urban areas in many provinces also shows signs of salinity. The main cause of saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta in 2020/2021 is attributed to the lack of rainfall, water resources in the upper Mekong River upstream during the 2020 flood season, and the 2020 flood peak at the upstream of the Mekong River on the Tien River. , the Hau river (An Giang province) is at a low level (below alert 1), leading to a shortage of flow in the dry season 2020-2021 from the upper Mekong river delta to the Mekong Delta by 10-20% compared to the average of many years. In addition, the total flow from the upper Mekong River (at Kratie station, Cambodia) to the Mekong Delta is in shortage compared to the average of many years about 5-15%. Solutions to ensure water security According to the National Center for Socio-Economic Forecasting and Information (NCIF), in the coming time, it is necessary to always be prepared with situational solutions to help people cope with urgent drought such as plan to mobilize mobile tank trucks to carry fresh water for households living in scattered, remote, coastal and island areas. Along with that, deploying drilling wells to supplement fresh water sources, extending pipes from concentrated water plants in the freshwater area to supply affected residential areas, installing additional public taps to supply households affected by saline intrusion use. Review, upgrade, expand and extend the pipeline with neighboring works with excess capacity to supply clean water to the people in the affected area. Regularly observe the water level of the reservoir, check the used capacity and the remaining capacity in the reservoir for treatment solutions to adjust irrigation water to suit production reality. Concentrate on investigating and searching underground water sources, especially deep aquifers to serve water supply for daily life in areas frequently subjected to saline water intrusion. Installation of salt water and brackish water filtration systems (RO equipment) in rural centralized domestic water supply schemes that are frequently affected by saline intrusion. To build freshwater reservoirs in dead-end canals and old diversion dams, and temporary dams to prevent salinity to keep fresh water sources for concentrated rural water supply stations. Investing in the construction of closed irrigation systems, implementing projects on dykes, embankments, key irrigation dams to prevent salinity, fresh storage for production and people’s livelihood. Saline intrusion negatively affects agriculture. The next solution is to regularly dredge the inland canals, clear and clear the flow for all canals, repair damaged works, carry out maintenance and repair of machines and equipment. operation, backup pumps to ensure proactive in regulating for irrigation and water pumping when saline drought, efficient operation of freshwater reservoirs. NCIF also believes that it is necessary to promote cooperation in the Mekong-Lan Thuong cooperation mechanism (MLC) on water exploitation and use. The decline in flow in the upper Mekong River leads to drought and saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta, so the water resource management in the Mekong Delta must be associated with the problems of water exploitation and use of 6 a country that shares the Mekong River. Accordingly, it is necessary to promote negotiations so that countries with large hydropower reservoirs, including in the main and tributaries, cooperate in the operation of power generation, water discharge downstream, ensuring flow maintenance. minimum level on the river. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation with countries experienced in responding to climate change, sea level rise, saltwater intrusion and drought such as the Netherlands, Israel, and Australia to enlist the help of countries and international organizations in coping with drought in particular and climate change in general It is necessary to widely propagate and guide people to implement measures to use water in an economical and efficient manner, especially in irrigation and daily life, to combat wasteful water sources. Encourage people to be proactive in case of water shortage with water storage solutions.
