Abstract
Ben Tre, located in the Mekong Delta, is one of the most places affected by climate change, especially in sea level rise and salinity intrusion. For the seven provinces bordering the East Sea, the need for monitoring water resources is critical. This paper represents an approach to build a web-based GIS to store, manage, analyze and visualize the data of saline intrusion phenomenon. The novelty focuses on automating the workflow for the generation and publication of time series saline intrusion maps on server side. The analysis results are provided on the web browser interface. This helps users access valuable information without having to install professional GIS software. Spatial distribution of saline intrusion and statistical results support government agencies in planning and decision making. This work is funded by Ben Tre Provincial People's Committee and Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST).
Highlights
Mekong Delta (MKD) is the largest agriculture and aquaculture production region in Vietnam
This paper presents the design of a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) that can integrate an automated tool for the estimation of landuse affected by salinity intrusion
Once the web-based GIS (WebGIS) was completely developed it was hosted on a web server in order to post it on the internet environment
Summary
Mekong Delta (MKD) is the largest agriculture and aquaculture production region in Vietnam. In 2016, Ben Tre Province experienced the most severe drought and saline intrusion in more than 60 years. These are the causes of damage to fruit and paddy production [3]. The provincial government has several policies to improve the irrigation network and water capacity for cultivation. They need a monitoring system for the saline intrusion to make quick and reasonable decisions [4]
