There are two main river systems in the Red River Delta: the Thai Binh and the Red river systems. To discharge the flood as fast as possible, dredging and creating more flows are needed, however, French had blocked the natural flood.[ ISSUE 1 ]
Can these rivers be re-connected to return their original functions and let them be the natural rivers again?
1. The process is ‘cut and fill’. Some of current settlements in the retention area will be removed while in some area, land could be taken from retention zone for new urban development, depends on the locations and importance of residential area.
2. A dike system can be built surround to protect settlements in flooding area.
[ ISSUE 2 ]
Due to the climate change, the sea level will increase in the future and threaten the delta. The new water level will change the landscape and people’s life greatly.
1. A preserve area along the coast of the delta will be drawn to guide urban developments keep away from the threatened area.
2. Try to integrate the infrastructure investments, the existed settlements, and the industrial developments with the sea level increasing condition.
