Measures to protect, restore, develop water resources in Vietnam discussed
Climate change, sea level rise, saltwater intrusion and unsustainable water use fuel the water scarcity risks in Vietnam, said Tong Ngoc Thanh, director general of the National Centre for Water Resources Planning and Investigation (NAWAPI).
At the workshop “Protection, Restoration and Development of Water Resources: Science, Policy and Practice” on March 15, he highlighted that to deal with the situation, Vietnam has enacted the revised Law on Water Resources 2023 to change the way the country manages its water resources, improving the efficiency of water use and curbing water pollution.
