The extraction of groundwater has increased rapidly over the past decades and forms
one of the main causes of saline water intrusion into the coastal aquifers. Such the intrusion has
been accelerated by the on-going rise of the sea level. Saline intrusion in groundwater in the
Vietnamese Mekong Delta is highly complex as it depends heavily on different factors, including
changes in water supplies (e.g. the magnitude of the annual upstream hydrograph during both the
flood and dry seasons and timing distribution of the annual rainy season) and rising water demands
(e.g. the amount of fresh groundwater extracted for different purposes like domestic, agriculture
and aquaculture use...
