The coastal zone of the Mekong River delta has experienced rapid economic and environmental change during the last decade. Given the nature of the environment and the level of dependence on the natural resource base, policies for land and water were very influential in this process. The emphasis on rice created an imperative to control saline intrusion, which was realized through construction of major engineering works over an extended period (1994-2000). The inertia built up by this process led to a divergence between policy and practice, and adversely affected the livelihoods of fishers and of those farmers who live on aquaculture. This prompted the government to re-think about the rice-focus policy, in favor of a land and water policy for balanced rice and aquaculture production. The paper describes an analytical process, which was adopted to explore the feasibility of adopting the new policy for balanced development of both rice and shrimp production and discusses the impact of the new policy on farmers’ livelihoods.

Tidal effect and salinity intrusion are two defining characteristics of inland coastal zones, causing, respectively, complex variations in water levels and flows in river and canal networks, and serious problems for agriculture and freshwater fishery, but bringing significant benefits for brackish water aquaculture. To evaluate these conflicts and synergies in the development of agriculture, fishery and aquaculture, this paper adopts a hydraulic and salinity modeling approach that simulates the tidal propagation and salinity intrusion, and evaluates the effects of water and land use management on these hydrology- and salinity-related phenomena in coastal zones. The paper presents the empirical results from the application of a hydraulic and salinity model specifically developed for the context of the Ca Mau peninsula, Mekong Delta, Vietnam, and also demonstrates how such a modeling approach can provide valuable policy-relevant information at different phases for water resource planning, development, operation, and management in hydrologically and environmentally sensitive coastal regions.
