Title: Vietnam - Vinh Phuc Flood Risk and Water Management Project : environmental and social impact assessment
Abstract: The development objective of the Vinh Phuc Flood Risk and Water Management Project for Vietnam is to strengthen flood protection capacity and prevent the rapid deterioration of surface water quality through the improvement of wastewater management in the central catchment of Vinh Phuc Province. The potential cumulative impacts caused by simultaneous construction of different facilities, both industrial and urban infrastructure-related, can be managed with coordination of schedules at the city level, and good construction management during implementation. In summary, most potential urban infrastructure projects are likely to have largely positive impacts, through improving water treatment, solid waste management, and drainage along major roads, reducing water and air pollution, and improving the urban environment as well as performing vital flood control functions. While the industrial parks will impose significant impacts on groundwater and surface water quality, these can be mitigated to some extent by the proper operation and regular maintenance of the treatment plants under construction. The project itself has largely positive impacts,, through improving water on Phan River as well as performing vital flood control functions.. The potential cumulative impacts caused by simultaneous construction are limited in nature if well managed with coordination of schedules at the provincial level, and good construction management. During the construction phase, if the project affects the drainage and irrigation system in the area, the contracts should have alternative measures such as flow diversion to ensure drainage and avoid flooding when it rains so that the production activities of people in the area are not disrupted.
