adverse pressures in view of fast changes of riparian gimmicks These progressions, likely including increase of urbanization, industrialization, overpopulation have made obvious dangers affecting on the wellbeing of the nature and maintainable advancement This overall pattern has moved the routine methodology of researchers with respect to water allocation planning from straightforwardness into more many-sided quality, considering the multi-viewpoints, for example, environmental flow, financial profit streamlining or possible interest conflicts This Vu Gia - Thu Bon (VGTB) contextual analysis can be portrayed as a reaction to the prerequisite of a cutting edge water allocation mechanism by applying the integrated standards of water resources management and linear programming The fundamental objective of this study is to build an allocation planning for the VGTB River basin To come up with solutions, Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) Model is applied to assess the water availability in the basin and Excel Solver tool is utilized to solve Linear Programming (LP) equations A specific value of volume of water in the basin is the most imperative component prompting the applicability of the allocation results, an objective appraisal of water accessibility is extremely discriminating to guarantee the met of demand and supply and additionally actualize the allocation results, SWAT model is in charge of fathoming this undertaking Use of LP is introduced by building an objective function and relevant constraints; along these lines, Microsoft Excel is utilized to solve the equations Luan van

CHAPTER – INTRODUCTION 1.1 Problem Statement Issues existed in the VGTB basin can be depicted in both specific and general manner In general, perspectives building integrated watershed management in VGTB is confronting comparative issues with different rivers in Vietnam: (1) the overlapping of state administration causes snags in adding to the water resources planning strategy There are more than two ministries are included in dealing with river's and related assets, this trademark is considered as one of the primary reasons delivering low applicability of studies on water allocation planning This characteristic makes the issues identified with overexploitation, water quality or flow regime change becomes hazardous to illuminate completely Case in point, while Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) is responsible for overseeing water resources management, hydraulic structures along the stream are been in charge of many other Ministries, for example, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) or Ministry of Construction (MoC), this component makes the confusing in issuing regulations in extracting water or discharge pollutants into the river between MoNRE and the others (2) Involvement of stakeholders in planning water resources allocation is not actively taken into account and does not provide efficiency, especially citizens’ communities living in the study area In reality, committees organized in some basins nationwide not work effectively; linkage between administrative counties does not produce management proficiency The construction of industrial parks, dams in upstream and increasing urbanization leads to increase of hazardous waste and pollution and degradation of coastal areas, giving rise to conflicts in allocating downstream water (Natural Resources and Environment Journal, 2014) Particularly, the most complicated problem happening in the VGTB River basin is reservoirs’ regulation To date, the basin has large hydropower projects and 820 irrigation works including 72 reservoirs, 546 spillways, and 202 pumping stations Planned hydropower in mainstream of Vu Gia Luan van

Thu Bon up to 2020 proposes to build 10 hydropower plants with a total capacity of 1,200 MW During the last decade, there are many studies on inundation and drought in this area, saying that impacts of reservoirs are seriously severe (Nga, 2014) Natural flooding becomes more extreme and difficult to predict due to man-made influences in the upstream Irrational management of storing and releasing water kept inside the reservoir causes adverse impacts to the downstream such as salinity intrusion in 2012, at Han estuary, inundation in 2009, at many places in Quang Nam (Nga, 2014) Furthermore, use of reservoirs does not obey the ratified design; flood control volume is reduced to satisfy the electricity generation demand (Natural Resources and Environment Journal, 2014) This factor is considered as the main reason causing manmade and flash flood in the downstream In fact, the process of operating reservoir system in VGTB was issued by the Prime Minister since 2010; however, even the proper operation of this process still does not guarantee the safety of citizens living in downstream The evidence is that after a series of incidents hydro flood, flooded suddenly, causing loss of property and lives of the people downstream, for example in 2009 and the latest storm in October, 2013 Additionally, this issue also decreases the accuracy in assessing water availability Data regarding water temporally kept in the reservoir not have high confidence; this characteristic cannot be predicted by model This study supposes that flood discharge process is earnestly obeyed The VGTB river basin plays a particularly critical role in the socioeconomic development strategy in the Central Coast VGTB River system provides an important source of water for the development needs of living, the economy of the province of Quang Nam and Da Nang In addition to hydropower potential, the VGTB also supplies water for over 45,000 hectares of agricultural and domestic production for nearly million people in the basin Vu Gia River, especially as it passes through the city of Da Nang plays a very important role for the socio-economic development of the city; annual Luan van

average of nearly 75 million m supply of raw water to water plants serving the people living in cities and industrial areas, more than 100 million m3 of water for agriculture In addition to providing water for economic activities and livelihoods, the river also serves as a climate control, creating beautiful landscapes, especially the passage to the Han estuary The provision of water resources ensures the sustainable development of various sectors in the region As a key central economic region, this area has seen a rapid industrialization and development of many sectors This feature has consequently created serious stress for water resources of the basin, especially during the dry season when stream water availability is significantly decreased Currently, there are conflicts between water users in this area when a series of dams were constructed in the upstream area, causing water shortage for the downstream during the dry season Furthermore, the gap in economic yields between sectors also produces necessity of reallocating water resources The irrational allocation mechanism has decreased the total possible benefits gained from industrial productions; while industry can provide a much larger water yield compared with agricultural productions and livestock, the majority of water resources is being supplied to agriculture Accordingly, the study of the VGTB stream water allocation is vitally important to ensure the optimization of water resources Based on the characteristics of the basin and management as above mention, a study of resource allocation must be done to satisfy the integrated manner in management and ensure technical factors as well as effective business Linkage between using SWAT and LP to compute allocation basing IWRM framework can be used when considering the components of the hydrological cycle, the advocacy process of water on the basin and crystal economic efficiency when allocating 1.2 Objectives of Study The overall objective of this study is to propose an optimal water allocation plan in the Vu Gia - Thu Bon River basin The specific objectives are as follows: 10 Luan van

seen that water supplied for agricultural production in the basin has very low economic efficiency Livestock: Price of livestock is defined after deducting expenses not receiving water supply; it is about 1.5 times the average cost of irrigation water Price for the livestock in the basin is at VND 2100/m3 Industry: The value of water-use for the industrial production is calculated by evaluating the total gross value of industrial products million industry GDP is estimated to need 25m3 of water, so the average value of one m3 water is around 109,000 VND Domestic use: Price of domestic water is based on request of consumer Normally, a person agrees to spend no more than 2% of total income for water payment The value of clean water supplied to residents is around VND 2,200/m3 Then, the objective function of the Upper Thu Bon sub-basin can be defined as: Maximum of B = 2200dsh + 109000dcn + 1400dnn + 2100dchn And the constraints: C1: dsh ≤ 0.70 mil m3 C2: dsh ≥ 90% * 0.70 mil m3 C3:

CHAPTER – CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION To sum up, this study has taken the linear programming theory into consideration solving the basin water allocation planning The target is towards to maximize the economic benefit of water volume provided to various water users, including agricultural production, industrial production, domestic use and livestock In order to come up with the result, a multi-step process has been implemented such as allocable water availability assessment, environmental flow requirement, water demand prediction and water price identification Subsequently, the most important portion, setting up an objective functions and defining constraints has been successfully built; Microsoft Excel is utilized to simulate the equations and solve the problem The outcomes of this study cover the water allocation planning in 2020 of sub-basins: Upper Vu Gia, Upper Thu Bon, Ly Ly River, Tuy Loan River and Lower Vu Gia-Thu Bon, going with relevant discussion and recommendations In addition, a theoretical report of water resource allocation process is also published The total volume of water supplied to Lower Vu Gia-Thu Bon Basin is the highest because of favorable terrain, supporting the development of many socio-economic sectors On the contrary with the steep slope topography in the upper basin, the flat plain covers the majority of the region, building favorable conditions for the development of agriculture and industry Basins located in the coastal area: Lyly River basin, Tuy Loan River basin and Lower Vu Gia – Thu Bon basin requires a much higher water supply compared with Upper Vu Gia basin and Upper Thu Bon basin Rainy season is from October to December in the Vu Gia-Thu Bon basin; during these periods, floods and heavy rainfall occur throughout the basin, leading to serious obstacles for agricultural production In fact, due to adverse weather conditions, famers not cultivate during the flood season; hence, water supplied to agricultural production is minimized approaching zero in most of sub-basins Normally, there are two main crop 78 Luan van

periods, requiring high volume of water are winter-spring (from January to April) and summer-fall (from May to September) This characteristics cause the gap between volumes of water provided to sectors between months In addition to the dramatic changes of water allocated to agricultural production, provisions of other sectors such as domestic use, industrial production and livestock are slightly varied or even remained unchanged during a year Based on the allocation results, water supplied for agriculture takes 74.71 – 87.92% of total allocation water, but economic values acquired from its products are not high; only from 278.63 – 279.76 billion VND On the contrary, water supply for industrial production only takes 4.95 – 13.14% but its economic benefit is the highest in all the sectors; from 4,974 – 6,013 billion VND Therefore, the restructure of agricultural production is an important trend in order to increase efficiency of water use, or reduce the demand in dry season In addition to agricultural restructure process, an increase of water supplied to industrial production and livestock is needed to put into account 79 Luan van
