Việt Nam has a dense network of rivers which should provide a more than adequate supply. “We do not have proper database for water resources, we are lacking of qualified water management staff at localities,” he said. Bảy from the Department of Water Resources Management suggested strict enforcement of water resources utility and protection regulations should be implemented. Director of the National Centre for Water Resources Planning and Investigation Triệu Đức Huy said in the future, the centre will complete the national water resources plan along with relevant policies. Lê Đức Trung from the Mekong River Commision office in Việt Nam said Việt Nam has been proactively co-operating with countries in upper Mekong River regions in sustainable water resources management, both bilaterally and multilaterally.
