Groundwater Exploitation Zoning Aiming at Management of Sustainable Groundwater Exploitation and Use in Ca Mau Peninsula, Vietnam

The research is financed by KC08.08/16-20: Study of measures for mitigating and adapting to drought and salinity intrusion as natural hazards in Camau peninsula , Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnam Abstract Groundwater system in Camau Peninsula has 6 main aquifers (not including very poorly productive qh aquifer), of which 4 aquifers are predominantly exploited, namely qp 2-3 , qp 1 , n 2 2 and n 2 1 ; 2 minor aquifers are qp 3 and n 1 3 . Although the aquifers are located over the area, due to complicated fresh/saline interfaces in sections, exploitation and protection of groundwater sources is dealing with many problems. In the paper, information of aquifers is systematized into a map of groundwater exploitation zoning on scale 1:200,000 for the purpose of supplying essential information of water sources management in each socio-economical zone.
