Abstract

The research is financed by KC08.08/16-20: Study of measures for mitigating and adapting to drought and salinity intrusion as natural hazards in Camau peninsula , Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnam Abstract Groundwater system in Camau Peninsula has 6 main aquifers (not including very poorly productive qh aquifer), of which 4 aquifers are predominantly exploited, namely qp 2-3 , qp 1 , n 2 2 and n 2 1 ; 2 minor aquifers are qp 3 and n 1 3 . Although the aquifers are located over the area, due to complicated fresh/saline interfaces in sections, exploitation and protection of groundwater sources is dealing with many problems. In the paper, information of aquifers is systematized into a map of groundwater exploitation zoning on scale 1:200,000 for the purpose of supplying essential information of water sources management in each socio-economical zone. Keywords : Camau peninsula, potential exploitable groundwater reserve. DOI: 10.7176/JEES/10-4-04 Publication date: April 30 th 2020

Highlights

In traditional hydrogeological study, special information is synthesized and displayed with hydrogeological maps
Hydrogeological maps are composed in accordance with Vietnam technical regulations, so they are sophisticatedly and exploitation of information from them faces certain difficulties
Managers and people with no sound special background have troubles in adequate perceiving of information displayed on hydrogeological maps

Summary

Introduction

Special information is synthesized and displayed with hydrogeological maps. Managers and people with no sound special background have troubles in adequate perceiving of information displayed on hydrogeological maps. In previous projects of Department of Geology and Minerals of Vietnam, people have tried to simplify presentation of special information with maps of potential groundwater exploitation (Chan, 2010; Linh, 1992; Tuan &Chan, 1992). In these maps, contents of information have been simplified, but some other contents of sophisticated specialty were added.
