ProjectFactsheetStrengthening the Agroclimatic Information System to Improve the Agricultural Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System in Viet Nam (News), Pilot Study in Ninh Thuan Province - TCP/VIE/3603 2020
Also available in:
No results found.As a result of the effects of El Niño, from late 2014 to summer 2016, serious drought occurred in South Central Coast, Central Highland, and Southern Viet Nam. The main reasons were low rainfall, compared with the annual average rainfall in the same period, and no rainfall in some regions. It is estimated that thousands of hectares of rice and seasonal crops were affected. The drought management approach in the country mainly focuses on crisis management or emergency response, rather than implementing a proactive approach of risk management. In order to manage drought effectively, short-term drought predictions, monitoring and early warning, vulnerability assessment, as well as mitigation and response measures were required. The project aimed to improve the agricultural drought monitoring and National Early Warning System (NEWS) in Viet Nam, by implementing a pilot in one of the country’s drought-affected provinces,Ninh Thuan. -

No results found.This publication has been prepared as a background paper in view of the UN conference on the human environment that was held in Stockholm in 1972. This background document had contribution from UNESCO, IAEA and WHO. While the demand for land for land increases at a very rapid rate through population growth, technological progress and industrial development, soil resources remain fixed. The maintenance of their productivity is therefore of paramount importance.
