Binh Thuan province has a coastline of about 192 km, the coastline connecting with the surrounding space to create the coastal ecosystem. This is an important area for the socio-economic development of Binh Thuan province. However, in the process of development, some existing problems have been revealed, limiting the manifestation of unsustainability, especially the use of water resources. Research results show that, at present, Binh Thuan province has 188 mining and mineral processing enterprises, which not only consume a lot of water but also pollute the environment and exhaust water resources of Binh Thuan province. In order to reduce water shortage in Binh Thuan province, it is necessary to have specific and strict solutions to improve water efficiency. On the basis of monitoring data and the help of Seawat model, the study has determined coastal water reserves of Binh Thuan province, thereby determining the amount of water to be safely exploited. These data have been integrated with the RCP4.5 scenario and forecast for the years 2030, 2060 and 2090. From there, we propose some solutions to overcome water shortage, serving sustainable development. coastal water resources of Binh Thuan province.
