Although it happens on a small scale but it leaves far–reaching destruction in its wake. Recent years have recorded, several consecutive flash flood events causing great damage in the mountainous area of Quang Nam province. For example, in 2020, the successive flash floods and landslides occurring in October and November has been a pressing disaster problem which causes great loss of life and property. Flash flood prediction poses a big challenge for not only Vietnamese but also international scientists. The general method of flash flood prediction is based on threshold runoff and bankfull discharge. Currently, the Viet Nam Meteorological and Hydrological Administration is selected as Regional Centre for supporting flash flood warning by the World Meteorological Organization, has received the “Southeast Asia Flash Flood Guidance System (SEAFFGS)” developed by the U.S Hydrological Research Center and initially applied in flash flood and landslide warning. This paper presents the results of a methodological application for determining the guidance threshold runoff and bankfull discharge for flash flood warning in the SEAFFGS, which will be applied for the mountainous area of Quang Nam province as a pilot study area. The research results will be the first step for studies to determine the threshold runoff formed for flash flood warnings and can be referred for other mountainous regions of Vietnam.

This process has affected the environment of Thuy Trieu lagoon (TTL), leading to the need to assess the lagoon water environmental carrying capacity (LECC). Based on survey data in the years 2019–2021, this study has the objective of assessing the environmental capacity of the Thuy Trieu lagoon. Three substances are selected: Ammonia, Phosphate, and Nitrate. In this study, we use a MIKE 3 model with a Hydrodynamic module (HD) combined with a 3D numerical lab for ecological modeling (ECOLab), then extract the results and calculate the environmental carrying capacity load for the Thuy Trieu lagoon in the wet and dry seasons. The results showed that in the dry season, the residual carrying capacity of the water body LECCRM of substances such as Ammonia is 104.81 tons/month, Phosphate 193.18 tons/month, and Nitrate 2,294.91 tons/month. During the wet season, the LECCRM capacity in the water body also increased compared to the dry season with the LECCRM values of the following substances: Ammonium 165.33 tons/month, Phosphate 311.41 tons/month, and Nitrate 3,629.60 tons/month. This result complements the results already done, helping to have a more scientific basis for lagoon management and planning.

In recent decades, remote sensing and Geography information of system (GIS) have been able to build thematic maps with high accuracy for managing and monitoring natural resources and the environment, including the solar radiation potential. Establishing solar potential maps from satellite data combined with natural conditions, topography, and land cover will effectively assist in planning solar energy development while helping to identify the appropriate technology and lowest cost. Therefore, this paper presents the zonalization of the solar energy potential based on its calculations from Himawari–8 satellite and elevation from The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data applied for Dak Nong province. The results show that only about 18% of land in Dak Nong province is suitable for solar energy development. The appropriate sites for the development of solar energy are distributed in different regions of the Dak Nong province. Keywords: Surface solar irradiation; Himawari–8 Satellite; K–mean cluster, zonalization. |

A regional earthquake catalog was updated until 2021 and comprehensive seismic source zones within 150 km of Da Nang city were used. The PSHA results for Da Nang city are presented in the form of probabilistic seismic hazard maps, depicting peak horizontal ground acceleration (PGA) with 10%, 5%, 2% and 0,5% probability of exceedance in 50 years, corresponding to return times of 475; 975; 2,475 and 9,975 years, respectively, as well as the 5–hertz (0.2 s period) and 1–hertz (1.0 s period) spectral accelerations (SA) maps with 5–percent damping on a uniform firm rock site condition, with 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years, corresponding to a 2,475 year return period. The results show that, for the whole territory of Da Nang city, for all four return periods, the predicted PGA values correspond to the intensity of VI to VIII degrees according to the MSK–64 scales. As for the SA maps, for the 2,475–year return period, the predicted SA values at 1.0 s period correspond to the intensity of VI, while the predicted SA values at 0.2 s period correspond to the intensity of VIII to IX according to the MSK–64 scales. These probabilistic seismic hazard maps present short–and long–term forecasts of seismic hazards for Danang city.

The research on electrodialysis model to treat brackish water in Ben Tre province Ton That Lang1*, Nguyen Phan Thai Vy1 1 Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Resources and Environment; ttlang@hcmunre.edu.vn; vy.npt251@gmail.com *Corresponding author: ttlang@hcmunre.edu.vn; Tel.: +84−903983932 Abstract: Nowadays, clean water is becoming more scarce. People are getting closer to the adverse effects of climate change, especially the people of Ben Tre province those are heavily affected by seawater intrusion every year. The electrodialysis (ED) model, combined with electrostatic attraction and membrane filtration, has shown the ability to handle nearly 30% of salt concentrations of 5.5−7.9 g/L. The experiment also showed that air bubbles occur when the voltage of the model is increased higher than 26V. The model also promised a stable foundation to develop into a larger−scale model with more treatment stages and low electricity consumption. Moreover, it is possible to reuse the products produced by the ED model with two separate streams: a concentrated stream that can be applied to separate salts and a dilute stream that can be used as domestic water.

Application of Exploratory Factor Analysis on assessment of the community – based survey on environmental quality in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Nguyen Thi Minh Thu1*, Nguyen Thi Thu Hang2, Phan Thanh Hai3 1 Department of Environmental Science, SaiGon University; ntmthu@sgu.edu.vn 2Department of Environmental Science, SaiGon University; ntthang@sgu.edu.vn 3 Department of Construction, The People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; thaiquan1@yahoo.com *Corresponding author: ntmthu@sgu.edu.vn; Tel.: +84−938914769 Abstract: Research on people's evaluations and expectations for the living environmental quality has been conducted by many studies. In Vietnam, assessing people's opinions about the quality of the living environment, especially in densely areas, are still limited. However, people's judgments about the quality of the living environment have been considered as one of the assessing methods for the regional environmental protection results, approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in 2019. Therefore, this research was carried out to provide the evaluation and expectations of the people about the quality of their living environment in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The study used Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), a multivariate evaluation method, to group the surveyed answers that best express the respondents' evaluations and expectations. From 07 proposed groups and 26 initial variables, the analysis results have been reduced to 3 evaluation groups with 18 variables; and 2 expectation groups with 18 variables. The analysis results of influencing factors including age, survey’s location, and gender showed that although there is no difference in the two groups of gender, the age groups and respondents of 10 wards of District 1 revealed significantly different answers. The results of this pilot evaluation can therefore be applied as a premise to expand more in−depth studies on a larger scale and broader scope, and also an important reference for managers in designing regional environmental management options and plans, particularly in terms of age and location.

The developed model is tested with sample problems and compared with the simulation results by Mike 11 model on Tra Khuc river. Evaluating the simulation results of these two models show that, the simulation results of the Mike 11 model are better than the kinematic wave model, not significantly in the upstream and midstream flow, but significantly in the downstream flow of the Tra Khuc river. The simultaneous results show that the 1−dimensional kinetic wave model has sufficient reliability and applicability. Keywords: Mike 11 model; Kinematic Wave Model; Tra Khuc River. |
