LETTER OF INTENT

The co-operation programme for the year 2003- 2006Between

Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD)/Department of Dike Management and Flood Control (DDMFC), Vietnam

And

Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management (RWS)/Road and Hydraulic Engineering Division, the Netherlands

-------------------------------------

10 years of Co-operation: 1996 - 2006

- exchange of experiences and technical assistance for the completion and publicationof guidlines for dikes,- support in development of national safety standards in respect to flood protection, - support in training of technical staff (short courses, IHE, training NL/DWW), and- organize 'help-desk' for actual questions in the scope of projects under realization.

(Low-cost cooperation; limited budget, about $ 25 000/year)

FAO-UNDP project 525 (1995 – 2000); 360km dikes rehabilitation

Keep know-how updated; regulations, technical documents, knowledge and techniques (also post-academial education)

You do not need to do everything by yourself but you need to have properlyeducated people with working knowledge of english (invest in people);

Quality of service depends on quality of people and organisational system

Integrated approach

Conclusions

Transfer of knowledge from abroad and

Adaptation to local conditions by your

(properly educated/trained) staff

is the most profitable investment

Development of

knowledge

costs money !

Import of

know-how is

(often) cheaper

StatementCountry in developing should apply

modern/sophisticated safety approach and

calculation/design techniques to define

situation as close to reality as possible;it provides a proper/objective instrument for

policy/decision making level

Bridge between

Research andPractice

Countries

State and Public

(communication)

clay

Block revetments

clay

Design water level depends on choosen design frequency;

but the nature does not count on that

Lower design level/ higher frequency

Higher design level/ lower frequency Overtopping and

erosion

Safety standards

Attention to progress of damage after exceeding design conditions

Safety Standards

Design frequency

• Vietnam, China, etc.

• 1/20 actual

• 1/50

• 1/100

• 1/500

• 1/1000

Future; Risk-based approach:

probability x consequences (???!!!)

Aspects:

Fresh water (rivers)

Salt water (sea)

Low-lying land or not ?

Cities (population)

Economic areas (industry)

Safety versus design standard:5% = 1/20 years ?

For 5% the dike crest is about MSL+7m

Actual Vietnamese dikes probably no more than:

Crest of dikes 20% = 1/5 years (MSL+5m)

(frequent overtopped dikes)

However, the strength of revetments, including crest and inner slope, should be adequate to

resist at least the attack of typhoons such as No.2 and No.7 (Damrey).

Therefore, the loading by these typhoons should be studied and lessons should be learnt;

Transparency

There is no “golden receipt” against floods

There is no “absolute safety” for ever

Coping with Floods is an international problem

We have to joint the forces and exchange our

experience

We cannot avoid disasters/floods/erosionbut we have (must) to minimize the

consequences, and to be prepared for that

Some General Conclusions

“Remember Yesterday, Dream about Tomorrow but Live Today”

“Remember Yesterday, Dream about Tomorrow but Live Today”

It was a nice and fruitful time for both parties

Capacity building

Some things never change = good workmanship

Training; short-courses, post-academic education

Co-operation with Universities: Master and/or Doctoral Thesis

Guest Lectures by professional engineers

Dictates/lecture notes and training for Higher and Lower

Technical Education

Make (optimal) use of engineers graduated at IHE or elswhere:

- translate their thesises

- organize Seminars for presentation and making acquaintance

- use them in a help desk

- involve them in Working Groups

- provide them free-voice conditions; more room for new ideas;

- (protect them from actual bureaucratic structure; the bos is not always right)

(also WRUCE)

Learning by doing: put young engineers in foreign projects (english!!??)

1. General remarks

Remember: Everybody has a role and responsibility (on each level)

Believe in yourself; you know and understand situation better than foreign experts

-

- Foreign consultant/expert can only advice, you have to do it by yourself (learn

from expert)

- - Give chance/opportunity to new (young) generation

- - Do not waste the investment in a new generation

- - Joint the forces (1 + 1 >2)

- - Cooperation (learn and stimulate cooperation within your own organization and

with organizations outside: Ministries, Universities, Consultants, Contractors,

Environmental Organizations/NGO’s, etc)

- - Integration of various national and international project to one total frame

Co-operation needed

• Between ministries MARD – MONRE-Transport

• Within MARD/DDMFC

• Between Institutes

• Between Universities and Faculties

• International

• Upgrading documents

• Unification of Polices

In conclusion:

May be

Developments

• Last decades:increase economical values,population (coastal and riverine areas)

• Large Disasters (Floods, Traffic, Planes, Fire, Earthquakes, Mud flow, etc.)

• Future developments: climate change, sea-levelrising, soil subsidence, air/water pollution

Thanks to

Engineering judgement

Conclusions

• Solving problems requires interdisciplinary teamwork

• Geotechnical knowledge is essential

• PLAXIS is only a calculation tool

• Engineering experience/judgement is essential in analysis of results

• This should be also included in educational process (make not too much boundries between faculties but stimulate cooperation)
