Outline of Final Research Achievements

Watershed management requires information on the dynamics of water quantity and quality, reflecting the diversity of localities in the watershed and the time transition of the society, although many of watersheds in developing countries lack basic statistics and geographic data. As a case study in the Nhue-Day basin, Vietnam, this study demonstrated the methodology framework to generate quantitative information for the practical use of watershed management, composed of watershed sub-dividing and classification, water and material cycle analysis using a tank model, and material flow analysis in typical sub-watersheds.
