ABSTRACT
The Day – Nhue Rivers basin located on the right bank of the Red River in its delta area, covers Hanoi city and its conurbation and is characterized by a high population density. Several tributaries of this river system are suffering from strong impacts of wastewater from domestic, industrial, agricultural and aquaculture activities in the regions. The Seneque/Rivertrahler model, developed for establishing the link between the biogeochemical functioning of river systems and the constraints set by the meteorology, the morphology of the drainage network and the human activities was fully implemented on the Day River basin. For taking into account regulated Red River water inputs at several stations of the Day-Nhue system, the model is connected to a previously established model of the upper Red River basin. The model results were validated using nutrient concentrations measured during several field surveys and was used to establish a nutrient budget of the drainage network. We also explore how the water flux of the upstream Red River could be managed for possibly reducing the pollution of the Day River system. Future scenarios were explored in order to evaluate the resulting changes in water quality and nutrient loading delivered to the coastal zone at the horizon 2050 based on expected demographic and land use changes. The results show that the risk for coastal eutrophication will become severe even with considerable efforts in urban wastewater treatment.
