A few years ago (2000-2002) a research project entitled “Geohazards in coastal provinces of Central Vietnam (from Quang Binh to Phu Yen) - current status, causes, predictions and recommendation of mitigation measures” was conducted by Vietnam Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources (VIGMR). The problem of river bank erosion was surveyed and studied along 25 major rivers and their tributaries totaling more than 850km in length. In this paper, some special cases are highlighted, causes are presented and a method for determining river meanderness as an indicator of future bank erosion is proposed. |
