Abstract

The interlocking channel and river in Bac-Lieu and Ca-Mau provinces with more than 5700km length has a very important position: providing fresh water, conveying seawater inland, dissolving contaminated water and waterway transport network serves the region's socio-economic development. In recent years, landslide along the riverbank in these provinces has occurred continuously, unusually and increasing seriously. River and canal bank erosion has caused damage to many infrastructure and livelihoods. Every year, authorities and people living along the river have spent alot to build a series of river adjustment, bank protection but the landslides in these provinces has not been prevented. On the other hand, many protection measures have been built with high cost but not effective as expected. To contribute to solving this pressing issue, the research result from the project "Study on solutions and technologies to prevent river bank erosion in Bac-Lieu and Ca-Mau provinces" was lead by Assoc. Prof. Tran Ba Hoang (Southern Institute of Water Resources Research) proposed four groups of measures to prevent typical landslides corresponding, often occurring in the river and canal system in Bac-Lieu and Ca-Mau provinces for many years.
