Simulation of Salinity Intrusion in the Context of the Mekong Delta Region (Viet Nam)

Abstract

In this paper, we constructed a simulation model the salinity intrusion status in the past and salinity intrusion scenarios for the future in Mekong Delta, piloting in Bac Lieu province. The salinity intrusion process was simulated on river/channel system and on the area of Bac Lieu (designed from the GIS) that runs on the simulation GAMA tool. Simulation results will show the salinity contours, saline area, statistics of the average salinity between the regions, the statistics of salinity intrusion through the period 2000-2010 and 2010-2020.
