Goal and objectives of the project
  • Determining the situation of changes in water flows, erosion, water pollution of Lo River due to exploiting contruction materials in Phu Tho province;
  • Proposing solutions to manage exploitation properly, and develop sustainably the economy and environment of the area.
Main results

Theoretical results:

  • Determining the situation, causes of erosion, changes in river flows of Lo River.
  • Determining the effects of exploiting contruction materials on erosion, changes in river flows, water pollution of Lo River.
  • Locating and predicting the areas having posibility of erosion and proposing the solutions to manage exploitation properly, and develop sustainably the economy and environment of the area.

Applied results: The results of the project used in planning the exploitation of contruction materials, social and economic development of the area to reduce the damages.
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results
  • Researching and determining the effects of the exploitation of contruction materials on erosion, changes in river flows and water pollution of Lo
  • The first time to locate in most detailed and predict the areas having the probability of erosion, changes in river flows and water pollution in Lo River.  
  • Having proposed the specific solutions to prevent erosion and changes in river flows for each areas. 
Products of the project
  • Reports
  • Map distribution of exploitation of construction materials in Lo River, Scale of 1/50.000
  • Map distribution of erosion in Lo River, Scale of 1/50.000
  • Map predict the probability of erosion, changes in river flows in Lo River in Phu Tho province, Scale of 1/50.000
Research region

The locals in the area of Lo river: Đoan Hung, Phu Ninh Distric, and Viet Tri city, Phu Tho province
Recommendations

More research on other rivers or areas having many residents, or developed economy.
