Outline of Final Research Achievements

Situations on inundation and microbial pollution were investigated in Hue Citadel area during wet season by continuous monitoring of water level and electric conductivity as well as water sampling and its analysis. Advanced urban inundation model was developed through elaboration on ground elevation, connection of channels and ponds, and setting-up of imperviousness using satellite image data. The model was successfully utilized to reproduce a past inundation situation and to evaluate vulnerable districts for inundation. Questionnaire and interview survey was also conducted to obtain status of water accessibility and exposure to pathogens by face-to-face interviewing to local nurses and mothers.
