VietNamNet Bridge – The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment on December 23 held a seminar discussing climate change’s impacts on water resources in Vietnam and measures to reduce water pollution and maintain aquatic ecosystems.

The country needs flexible water management policies so as to use water resources effectively.

The participants agreed that climate change can affect the water quality due to changes in temperature, water flows and the transformation of pollutants at catchments as well as rising sea levels.

Vietnam should consider recommendations issued by the US in its global climate change research programme to timely deal with climate change’s impacts on water resources, said Dr. Dang Thi Lan Huong from the Department of Water Resources Management.

The country needs flexible water management policies so as to use water resources effectively, Huong said. She also said it is necessary to study methods to treat and reuse wastewater and desalinise sea water besides improving a legal framework for water management and distribution.

Many opinions held said that Vietnam should not only map out plans to cope with climate change but also take advantage of the situation to serve the country’s socio-economic development.
