Prof Dr Dao Xuan Hoc, chair of the Vietnam Water Resources Association, believes that ecological reservoirs are a good solution to ease floods, and mitigate landslides and subsidence in Mekong Delta. Hoc, who spent many years studying challenges for Mekong Delta, found that one of the reasons behind the current problems is the uncontrolled exploitation of underground water. Underground water is not only important for sustainable development, but is vital for the development of delta and urban area. First, when digging ecological reservoirs at the depth of 5-6 meters, localities will have big volumes of soil which can be used to heighten the ground by 60-70 centimeters. If so, sand from river will not be needed for ground leveling. Ly Hai
