Abstract

Detecting past characteristic of hydro-climatic variables can provide a deeper understanding of the effects of climate change on water resources. Among the hydro-meteorological parameters, salinity is one of the most critical factors. This study explored the average monthly salinity trends of the six stations in Ho Chi Minh City for the period from 2007 to 2021, using the Innovative Polygon Trend Analysis (IPTA). IPTA is a simple approach that allows for fine-trend interpretation and avoids the fundamental assumptions in classical methods, such as normality, independence, and pre-whitening. Polygon graphics for monthly salinity data were analyzed using arithmetic mean and standard deviation to assess trend length and slope. The outcomes showed that most of the statistically significant transitions (April–May, November–December) occurred in consecutive months between dry and rainy seasons, with the highest average trend length values of 9.88 g/l and 8.31 g/l at Ong Thin and Nha Be stations, respectively. Particularly, the maximum length trend in the dry season also highlighted a characteristic of the salinity transition over time. Therefore, the application of IPTA provides insights into many months’ cycles, which are essential for the salinization management of the study area.

期刊介绍： Environmental Earth Sciences is an international multidisciplinary journal concerned with all aspects of interaction between humans, natural resources, ecosystems, special climates or unique geographic zones, and the earth: Water and soil contamination caused by waste management and disposal practices Environmental problems associated with transportation by land, air, or water Geological processes that may impact biosystems or humans Man-made or naturally occurring geological or hydrological hazards Environmental problems associated with the recovery of materials from the earth Environmental problems caused by extraction of minerals, coal, and ores, as well as oil and gas, water and alternative energy sources Environmental impacts of exploration and recultivation – Environmental impacts of hazardous materials Management of environmental data and information in data banks and information systems Dissemination of knowledge on techniques, methods, approaches and experiences to improve and remediate the environment In pursuit of these topics, the geoscientific disciplines are invited to contribute their knowledge and experience. Major disciplines include: hydrogeology, hydrochemistry, geochemistry, geophysics, engineering geology, remediation science, natural resources management, environmental climatology and biota, environmental geography, soil science and geomicrobiology.
