FLOODING IMPACTS ON RICE CULTIVATING AREA UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE IN TRA VINH PROVINCE

Tóm tắt

Climate change (CC) and sea level rise (SLR) are a challenge for many ecosystems, biodiversity and environmental resources, greatly influencing human social life. In this paper, we assess the impact of flooding in the rice cultivating area under climate change and sea level rise by 2100 in Tra Vinh province, through gathering and inheriting database methods, model (MIKE FLOOD) and geographic information system. The results indicated that Cau Ke and Chau Thanh districts have flooded areas on rice growing land larger than other districts. The results obtained in this study can be used to provide options for crop improvement, food security in the region and contributing to the local sustainable development.
