Vietnam law on water resources and IWRM implementation (pdf 284kb)

This case study examines the ten year process of drafting, adopting and implementing Vietnam's law on water resources in relation to specific IWRM principles and related social and environmental issues. Fundamental to this process was the awareness of the need for a comprehensive law and how it would benefit the social, economic and environmental interests of the country.
