RISK ASSESSMENT IN DOWNSTREAM AREA IN KE GO RESERVOIR, HA TINH PROVINCE Major: Intergrated Water Resources Management THESIS OF MASTER DEGREE Supervisor: Asso Prof Dr Pham Thi Huong Lan This research is done for a partial fulfilment of the requirement for Master of Science Degree at Thuyloi University This Master Programme is supported by NICHE – VNM 106 Project Hanoi, 2015 Abstract Flooding causes economic, social and environmental damages and life loss This fact increases the great attention on flooding by government, and science in many countries around the world As a country located in the tropical climate region, Vietnam has been facing various water related disasters since ancient time, particularly in central parts of Vietnam where featured by steep topography In recent years, Rao Cai river basin in Ha Tinh province is frequently flooded due to climate change impact, rapid infrastructure and urbanization growth This problem caused serious damages to human life, properties, and social – economic development activities… Flood risk management is a new concept based on a proactive approach which recently becomes a robust tool for reducing flood damage Main contents of flood risk management are flood risk assessment and flood preventive measures or flood preventive planning Flood risk assessment is key part in flood risk management Flood risk assessment is a function of three main variables: flood hazards, vulnerability, and coping capacity Understanding of flood hazards, vulnerability, and coping capacity is the vital step for efficiency of flood risk assessment Flood risk management strategies have not been developed for Rao Cai river basin for many years and there is no spatial planning approach for regional development This research aims at flood risk assessment for Rao Cai river basin based on the new concept of flood risk management mentioned above An incorporated hydrological modeling approach for hazard assessment for Rao Cai river basin has been adopted in this research The research objective divides into three parts: (1) Identification of flooding and potential reasons based on available natural, social and economic data; (2) The second part involved flood simulation and inundation mapping of events with chosen return periods using a MIKE package model (MIKE UHM, MIKE 11, and MIKE 11 GIS).The model was calibrated and verified based on the data series in October, 2010 A flood from 2nd to 6th, October 2010 was used to calibrate the model Another flood in October, 2010 (from 14th to 19th, October) was used to verify the model Results of calibration and verification were fit to measured data The flood simulations for selected return periods were generated for 200 and 1000 years corresponding to frequency of design and checking flood of Ke Go reservoir (3) Flood risk assessment is combined effect of flood depth (hazard factor) and population density (vulnerability factor) by weighing factors for both of them As for the results, the research revealed that flood risk assessment is helpful tool for flood risk management Flood risk maps were produced for the flood of 1000 year and 200 year return period The level of hazard and risk were determined for each community in Cam Xuyen, Thach Ha and Ha Tinh city These maps can be used for flood risk management and mitigation planning for Ha Tinh province in general, Rao Cai river basin in particular Declaration I hereby certify that the work which is being presented in this thesis entitled, “Study on flood risk assessment in downstream area in Ke Go reservoir, Ha

correspond to design and checking flood of Ke Go reservoir Overall, the total risk area of checking flood case is higher than design flood case because flow of the former is higher than last one Medium and high risk areas are nearly total affected area with above 70% In both case, percentage of affected medium and high area were equal with 39 % and 27% respectively Only having change in low area and very high area 69 The statistical results of table 5-15, figure 5-17 and figure 5-18 show that the flooding depth in downstream area of Ke Go reservoir is quite severe Because this is an important area, there is a need to prepare some effective measures to minimize damages to the Ha Tinh city and surrounding area To flood risk management, we can use structural and non-structural measures The structural measures can design dykes or build levees along Rao Cai and Gia Hoi rivers At the present, a number of measures are applied all over the world to ensure safety for particularly important areas The nonstructural measures are structure elevation or structure relocation by moving structure in low land to high land Beside, awareness increase of resident about flood control and mitigation solution is very important in flood risk management 70 CHAPTER 6: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Conclusions The Rao Cai is one of the largest rivers in Ha Tinh province In recent years, floods have been increasing not only frequency but also intensity and affect to all aspects of lives Climate change, improper management of natural resources, inadequate awareness on flood risk, etc., response for the question ―Why flood become increasingly serious?‖ To minimize negative impacts of flood on local people, it is necessary to make an efficient flood risk management Flood risk assessment based on flood modeling has an important contribution to this progress To assess flood risk, in this study, the MIKE package including MIKE UHM, MIKE 11 HD and MIKE 11 GIS, was used to simulate the previous flood events in 2010 and other floods as 0.5% and 0.1% The main objective of this study is to develop inundation maps corresponding to the floods as mention above That is the foundation to assess the flood risk by overlapping vulnerability and hazard layer To assess risk of the flood events, the following conclusions could be depicted as elements of research procedure: + Main reasons and causes of flood in study area are affected by heavy rainfall with high intensity and more frequency Those are impact of climate change + Digital Elevation Model (DEM), which represents the floodplain’s surface, is the input information for simulating and estimating the flooding extend and depth The DEM in the research was derived from interpolation of elevation spots and contour lines of different spatial data such as, contour maps with variable scales, transportation system maps, dyke system maps, and hydrological maps The DEM was built from topography with scale of 1:10,000 + For the, in order to simulate the lateral inflow of sub-catchments in downstream of Ke Go reservoir, the regionalization method was applied by using the model parameters of Ke Go catchment; 71 + The combination of flooding depth (hazard factor) and population density (vulnerability factor) with the weighing factors for both of them, flood risk assessment was done and mapped The level of hazard and risk were determined for each community in Cam Xuyen, Thach Ha and Ha Tinh city These maps can be used for flood management 6.2 Recommendations Due to limited time and knowledge, this thesis have focused on simple hazard and vulnerability such as flooding depth and population density, to have valuable result we have to considering to other aspect such as: velocity, during flooded (hazard factor) and vulnerability about agriculture, infrastructure (road, railway…) Besides to improve result flood simulation, inundation map need good data, in study area are almost data from local supply (water level at upstream, downstream, release flow of Ke Go reservoir, which can be reedited for an another reason (political, …) From this study, the following issues are strongly recommended: - Technical issues: Before using the recorded data of a station, it is necessary to firstly check the data for continuity and consistency - Research issues: flood risk assessment is difficult but necessary for flood risk management and the results of hazard and risk assessment should be represented to the local and regional decision makers Recommendations for future research: The results of flood modeling and flood characteristics can be improved if better resolution and quality DEM is used for flood simulation Research was based on the topography in 10,000 scales The usage of better resolution and quality DEM and considering infrastructure such as road, railway, and building or … using satellite image and classify image of past flood to improve quality of hydrodynamic model are topic for future research Besides, it is undeniable that awareness of resident about flood it is very important in flood control and mitigation and it is effect to result flood risk 72 The study of flood hazard should be more considering with others scenarios to obtain the higher results of risk assessment for the region in order to quantify the expected damage for different return periods Recommendations for the Local Administrative Authorities and local communities: It should be improved the risk perception of local community regarding to flood process and its hazardous effect on population and their property New hazard maps should be represented to the population and they should be informed about probable results According to of European Union, the risk maps should be rebuilt after years It should be prohibited to use dikes for cattle pasture Dikes should be built up to protect population along rivers Construction of small channels and rising vines with ground will decrease the water level on cultivated land and protect it from inundation Raising the awareness of people about flood, hazard and mitigation ways 73 REFERENCES Alkema, D (2007) Simulating floods: on
