Vietnam - Mekong Delta - Seasonal Inundation

The Mekong Delta is affected by seasonal flooding between July and December with its peak between late September and the end of October. The map shows the inundated areas during rainy and dry season derived from ASAR imagery using FLOODMASK software.

Vietnam - Mekong Delta - Seasonal Inundation

The Mekong Delta is affected by seasonal flooding between July and December with its peak between late September and the end of October. The map shows the inundated areas during rainy and dry season derived from TerraSAR-X imagery using FLOODMASK software.

Mekong Delta - Inundation as a Function of Time 2008

The map displays the flood extension as a function of time for the year 2008. In addition built-up structures for the areas Can Tho, Rach Gia and Tam Nong are displayed.

Mekong Delta - Seasonal Flooding And Sea Level Rise 2000

The map displays the flood maximum extension for the whole MK Delta. The flood year 2000 was used for the simulation under the assumption of 45cm rise of sea level.

Extended Mekong Delta - Modelling of Inundation and Sea Level 2000

The map displays and compares the flood maximum extension for the whole MK Delta. Inundated areas where modeled by using a suitable method for interpolating result from a 1D hydraulic model.The flood year 2000 was used for the simulation under the assumption of 45cm rise of sea level.

Extended Mekong Delta - Modelling of Inundation and Sea Level 2004

The map displays and compares the flood maximum
extension for the whole MK Delta. Inundated areas where
modeled by using a suitable method for interpolating result
from a 1D hydraulic model.The flood year 2004 was used for
the simulation under the assumption of 45cm rise of sea level.

The map displays and compares the flood maximum extension for the whole MK Delta. Inundated areas where modeled by using a suitable method for interpolating result from a 1D hydraulic model.The flood year 2000 was used for the simulation.

Extended Mekong Delta - Modelling of Inundation 2004

The map displays and compares the flood maximum extension for the whole MK Delta. Inundated areas where modeled by using a suitable method for interpolating result from a 1D hydraulic model.The flood year 2004was used for the simulation.

Extended Mekong Basin - Inundation Modelation 2004 (Comparison)

The map displays and compares the flood maximum extension for the whole MK Delta. Inundated areas where modeled by using a suitable method for interpolating result from a 1D hydraulic model. One scenario shows inundated areas of the flood year 2004, while the other scenario simulates inundation of the flood year 2004 under the assumption of 45cm rise of sea level

Vietnam - Can Tho City - Land Use / Land Cover 2006

Landcover/landuse classification digitized from a High Resolution QuickBird Image.

Vietnam - Can Tho Province - Turbiditiy

The Map shows the spatial distribution of turbidity and suspended matter derived from Qickbird data. For data processing the Modular Inversion and Processing System was used, a processing and tool designed for the retrieval of hyrdobiological parameters from remote sensing data.

Vietnam - Can Tho Province - Turbiditiy

The Map shows the spatial distribution of turbidity and suspended matter derived from Qickbird data with a spatial resoluton of 2.4m. For the data and product processing the Modular Inversion and Processing System (MIP) was used, a processing and development tool designed for the retrieval of hyrdobiological parameters from multi- and hyper-spectral remote sensing data.
In addition built-up structures are displayed, digitized from Quickbird data.

Vietnam - Can Tho Province - Imperious Surface Cover 2009

The map indicates the degree of imperviousness for settlement areas within Can Tho Province in 2009.

Vietnam - Ca Mau Province - Mangrove Map 2010

The map shows different kinds of land cover classes with a special focus on mangrove species for Ca Mau Province in 2010.

Vietnam - Rach Gia - Land Cover Classification 2008

Households Affected by Regular Tidal Flooding During Rainy Season

The map shows how many of the interviewed households are affected by tidal flooding during the rainy season. The red segments indicate the percentage of those households which stated that the entire house is regularly affected. Yellow indicates the flooding of parts of the house. Green indicates no flooding.
It becomes clear that depending on the area between one and two thirds of all households are in some way affected by tidal flooding during the rainy season. In addition, one can see that proximity to the river is an important exposure indicator even though also the areas inland are affected to great extent.

Vietnam - Mekong Delta - Case Study Areas and Main Findings Vulnerability Assessment WISDOM

The map shows the Mekong Delta and the case study districts of the vulnerability assessment within the WISDOM project.
Divided into three parts each, the text boxes summarize the main (1) hazards, socio-conditions and vulnerabilities and (3) adaptation strategies in each of the different archetype case study areas.
The findings show that there are significant differences between the vulnerability profiles in those areas.

Mekong Basin - Soil Moisture 2008

Monthly mean relative surface soil moisture from Envisat ASAR Global Monitoring Mode for the Mekong River catchment. The map shows soil moisture conditions in the dry season (February) and in the wet season (August) of the year 2008.
