Description

This is the content of a sub-project of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE). The project is implemented by the Central Remote Sensing Station of the MONRE’s Department of National Remote Sensing. The project’s objective is to develop a database on changes in riverbanks and coastal lines by using remote sensing technology. The result will be served for assessing the efficiency of counter-erosion measures and supporting regional development planning. On this basis, initiatives in preparedness, adaption, and mitigation of losses caused by erosion in the context of climate change can be taken. The long-term objective of the project is to update multi-temporal information on the riverbank and coastal changes in the Mekong Delta.

The project has 12 work packages, eight of which have been accomplished.
