With its main donors Vietnam has set out on a HaskoningDHV Vietnam
development trail to follow the strategy proposed in Vietnam Ltd. and
the ‘Mekong Delta Plan’ in its fertile delta. For the Southern Institute of
coastal and estuary zone in the delta this entails Water Resources
managing the salinization and the mostly eroding Planning
coastline. The strategy proposed for the Mekong
Delta is the adoption of a new aquaculture concept
to adapt land use to the advancing saline water
intrusion instead of fighting it and sticking to the no
longer tenable fresh-water agriculture,
predominantly being rice and fruit. In this context
the structure and position of the coastal flood
defence system is essential for adaptation options
in the near and longer-term future. The presence of
a mangrove belt (as a production source for sea
food and a wave shield for the dyke system) is a
crucial element in decision making for the transition

Communities in the Mekong Delta 180,000 Deltares
The aim of the study to “Strengthen Disaster Vietnam
Resilience for Coastal Communities in the Mekong
Delta” is to propose solutions for improvement of
transport infrastructure for priority districts in the
coastal provinces of the Mekong Delta; to (i) allow
residents a means of escape; (ii) provide access
for emergency services and (iii) improve logistic
facilities for transport of agro-aquacultural
products.
RHDHV prepared a range of GIS maps for the
coastal provinces with socioeconomic-, transport-
and flood data. We furthermore identified the most
vulnerable coastal districts within the coastal
provinces, using the results of interviews with local
authorities and focus group meetings and a multi
criteria analysis based on the GIS data. For these
districts critical transport infrastructure projects
were provided by the local authorities. These
projects were subsequently ranked using a second
multi criteria analysis. A cost benefit analysis
identified if the projects were economically viable.

Taking into account the existing government
policies and the institutional framework, it is
recognised that the orientation for the agricultural
sector in the delta needs to shift from a focus on
production towards a focus on added value by
improving the product-value chain, involving public-

The Terms of Reference describe the project in enough detail and clarity for us to have adequate
understanding of the scope of the project and the services required from the Project Implementation
Support Consultant. The ToR is clear and precise in describing the different responsibilities and duties of
the Consultant.
Nevertheless, based on our experience with other similar projects and after careful study of the Terms of
Reference (ToR) and other relevant documents, we would like to make the comments and suggestions as
described below. Please note that our observations on the ToR as provided here should be regarded as
starting points in an open discussion with the Client, should we be invited for contract negotiations.
The proposal is based on the information contained in the TOR. Should there be a change in the
scope of work to what is provided in the TOR - as a result of the currently evolving project process
- then this would be clarified and resolved at the time of contract negotiations for the consulting
services.
As mentioned in TECH-2, we have recently been involved in the Mekong Delta Plan (MDP, 2013)
on which the concept and approach for this Mekong Delta Integrated Climate Resilience and
Sustainable Livelihoods Project is based. We also assisted World Bank and MARD to review a
number of the investment subprojects under the Components 2, 3 and 4 of this project. This is
considered a valuable asset for our Consortium and is certainly giving us a head start once
selected for the provision of the consulting services for this project.
From our experiences and the lessons learned in the previous projects in the Mekong Delta, we
fully underline the current Project objectives. The objectives would be achieved through the
provision of capital investments (especially in water management infrastructures), technical
assistance (related to agricultural and aquaculture livelihoods) and capacity building for farmers in
selected Mekong Delta provinces and government institutions at national and sub-national levels
The deliverables mentioned in chapter 6 (Outputs of the Consultant Service) only mention the
main deliverables of the Consultant. Besides the main deliverables, the Consultant will have to
prepare “other reports as requested by CPMU / MARD and WB. We have carefully studied and
analysed the ToR and have identified a number of other reports and products that we believe will
be of benefit to the CPMU and the PMUs. We suggest to further discuss these other reports and
products during the inception phase to align expectations. We further note that support towards
any other reports that are requested by the CPMU / MARD and the WB are part of the services.
Training and capacity building are an important part of the services. In order to emphasise this
and to best design (annual) training plans and ensure knowledge transfer, it might be considered
including a training expert as an additional part time expert in the PISC team. The training expert
can support the other staff members in ensuring knowledge transfer in their work, designing
training programs that connect with the target group and support in execution of these programs.
We hope to further discuss this suggestion during the start-up of the project.
As indicated in the ToR the project duration will be from December 2017 to December 2018. We
assume that this includes 61 months. Our technical proposal (work planning and manning
schedule) and financial proposal are prepared based on a 61 month period. We would like to hold
discussion with client during the contract negotiation.
In addition to the observations with regard to the ToR presented above, we would like to propose the
following amendments to the draft Contract and discuss them during the negotiations.
We therefore propose to include the standard World Bank clause and complete the standard clause as
below to limit the liability of the Consultant.
Duration of Liability
The draft contract does not appear to define the duration of the liability. We therefore propose to add the
following Clause to the Special Conditions.
The Consultant’s liability is limited to a period of two years after the Consultant has completed the
Services or the Contract has terminated, whichever comes sooner.
We would therefore appreciate your consideration to add the following to the Special Conditions as sub-
clause 37.2:
Notwithstanding the provision in clause 37.1 of this Agreement, if after the date of this Contract
there is any change in the Applicable Law which affects Consultant's costs or his progress,
Consultant is entitled to require a modification or variation of the Agreement, including any
modification or variation of the scope of the Services, reflecting the effect of passing or changing
of such laws or regulations.
4. Nationality and Qualifications of Arbitrators. The sole arbitrator or the third arbitrator
appointed pursuant to paragraphs 1(a) through 1(c) above shall be an internationally
recognized legal or technical expert with extensive experience in relation to the matter in
dispute and shall not be a national of the Consultant's home country [If the Consultant
consists of more than one entity, add: or of the home country of any of their members or
Parties] or of the Government's country. For the purposes of this Clause, "home country
means any of:
(a) the country of incorporation of the Consultant [If the Consultant consists of more
than one entity, add: or of any of their members or Parties]; or
(b) the country in which the Consultant's [or any of their members' or Parties'] principal
place of business is located; or
(c) the country of nationality of a majority of the Consultant's [or of any members' or
Parties '] shareholders; or
(d) the country of nationality of the Sub-consultants concerned, where the dispute
involves a subcontract.
The ToR is clear on the counterpart organisations and the facilities that are provided to the consultant.
Relations between the consultant and counterparts are noted in the Project Detailed Outline (PDO) and
project Operational manual (POM). No information is given about the counterpart staff but that is not
expected at this stage. We have the following comments:
Data and information to be provided by the Client: we assume that all data will be collected
through the CPO/CPMU and will be made available to the Consultant, free of charge.
Site access permission: If and where necessary CPO/CPMU will assist in arranging the site
access permission for the Consultants
Office space: We propose that our project office will be located in Can Tho, preferably in same
building as the CPO Branch Office in Can Tho, to ensure the close cooperation and coordination
with the Client and the counterpart staff.
HaskoningDHV Vietnam Office in HCMC: If and when necessary the Consultant will make use of
its own office in HCMC for the purpose of the project implementation.
The Consultant proposes to set up a field office in Can Tho, to effectively facilitate the intensive
field work in the stakeholders as well as close coordination with related provincial authorities and
technical agencies: People’s Committee, DARDs, ICMB10 and PPMUs and their consultants and
contractors. We will need support from CPO/CPMU to get approval for setting up this field office in
a timely manner from the beginning of the project and recruit field coordinator to provide
administrative and coordination support to the Consultant.
Communication with CPO/CPMU: Official communication between the Consultant and
CPO/CPMU will be between representative(s) of CPO/CPMU and the Team Leader of the
Consultant and his authorized person (normally the Deputy Team Leader). We also expect that
staff is assigned to cooperate with the Consultant, availability for discussions, availability of
reports and data, letters of introduction to other agencies, or provincial authorities, timely
approvals of reports and invoices.
Workshops and training: a number of stakeholder and coordination workshops and training will
have to be conducted under this assignment. We do expect that from early stage of the
assignment the Consultant will work with CPO/CPMU to discuss how to organize the workshops
and training program, time schedule and where to organize.

1 Introduction
Component 2: Managing floods in Upper Delta. This component is to i) protect and enhance
positive effects of floods through flood control measures (flood retention) and increase rural
incomes and protect high-value assets by introducing flood control measures in rural areas and
alternative models in agriculture and fisheries; ii) provide livelihood support to farmers so that they
can have alternative crop during flood season, including aquaculture; iii) construct and upgrade
infrastructure to protect high-value assets such as urban areas and orchards; and iv) support
efficient water use in agriculture during dry season. In view of mitigating impacts from strong
floods in the Upper Delta, 3 sub-projects are proposed under this Component to enhance flood
discharge capacity.
Component 3: Adapting to Salinity Transitions in the Estuary. This component aims to address the
challenges related to salinity intrusion, coastal erosion, sustainable aquaculture and improved
livelihoods for communities living in the coastal areas. This will potentially consist of: i)
construction of coastal defences consisting of combinations of compacted earth embankments
and coastal mangrove belts; ii) modification of water and agricultural infrastructure along the
coastal zone to allow flexibility for sustainable aquaculture activities and adapt to changing salinity
levels; iii) support to farmers to transition to more sustainable brackish water activities such as
mangrove-shrimp, rice-shrimp and other aquaculture activities; and iv) supporting climate smart
agriculture by facilitating water use efficiency in the dry season. Four sub-projects are proposed
under this Component to face challenges from the sea, including severe salinity intrusion.
Component 4: Protecting Coastal Areas in Delta Peninsula. This component aims to address the
challenges related to coastal erosion, groundwater management, sustainable aquaculture and
improved livelihoods for communities living in the coastal and river mouth areas. This will
potentially consist of: i) construction/rehabilitation of coastal defences consisting of combinations
of compacted earth embankments and coastal mangrove belts; ii) modification of water control
infrastructure along the coastal zone to allow flexibility for sustainable aquaculture activities; iii)
control of groundwater abstraction for agricultural/aquaculture and development of freshwater
supplies for domestic use; iv) support to farmers to practice more sustainable brackish water
activities such as mangrove-shrimp and other aquaculture activities; and v) supporting climate
smart agriculture by facilitating water use efficiency. This Component includes 3 proposed sub-
projects.

Component 5: Project Implementation and Management Support. This component will be split into
project management support and capacity building for MARD, MONRE and MPI. This component
is expected to provide incremental running costs and consulting and advisory services for overall
project management, financial management, procurement, safeguards and monitoring and
evaluation.
The project is implemented in three basic ecological sub-zones in Mekong Delta which is covering 8
selected provinces: Floodplains (An Giang, Dong Thap), estuaries (Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, Soc Trang) and
peninsula (Ca Mau, Kien Giang).
The use of Livelihood Transformation Models (LTMs) which play an important role in this project is one of
the key recommendations that followed from these projects. It is important to see the developments in the
Mekong Delta not as alone-standing but of part of the system. Local stakeholders are an important part of
this system and as the delta changes, they have to adapt as well. The changes however also offer
chances, and supporting them to transform their livelihood offers them the opportunity to benefit from this.
Next to the MDP we have been involved in several other projects in the Mekong Delta and for the WB in
Vietnam as shown in Tech-2. This gives us a very strong understanding of the institutional, environmental
and social context in which this project takes place. This understanding can strongly benefit the
implementation of the ICRSL project.
We have a longstanding involvement in the Mekong Một, hai, ba: "Vì đồng bằng sông Cửu Long!" The Prime
Delta which started with the preparation of the Minister of Vietnam, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Phuc and former
Mekong Delta Master Plan (funded by UNDP) in director of the WB in Hanoi Victora Kwakwa cheer on the
1993 and we look forward to continuing our support Mekong Delta during the Mekong Delta Forum 2016.
the further sustainable development of the region
under that now familiar slogan: “Một, hai, ba: "Vì đồng bằng sông Cửu Long!”.
The scope of work of the consultant will comprise the following (from the ToR):
Study available project documents and work with the CPMU to agree on, and to submit, a
tentative detailed work plan for the entire service;
Support CPMU and PMUs in all aspects of project implementation, including preparing a work
plan every year, establishing and updating a procurement plan, carrying out the related
procurement and contract management activities and reporting as required by relevant authorities
and donor;
Support CPMU / PMUs in working with the donor and relevant authorities in preparation of next-
phase sub-projects;
Support CPMU in monitoring, managing
construction progress and quality;
Support CPMU / PMUs in piloting livelihood
transformation models in subprojects;
Support CPMU in implementing subprojects
HP l-5: Enhancing forecasts for
management and operation of irrigation/
hydraulic works;
In cooperation with the project monitoring
safeguard consultant, update and prepare
the progress of safeguard policies in
required reports;
Support CPMU / PMUs in organizing
training courses, workshops and capacity
building activities.

9. Financial Management
These nine tasks can roughly be divided in three groups as shown in Figure 2-1. There are project
management and general activities which are unrelated to specific subprojects. These tasks are focused
on making sure that the project runs smoothly and that checks and balances on project procedures are
upheld. Secondly, there are the activities which are directly related to implementation of the subprojects.
Strong coordination and cooperation with other actors involved is of the essence in these tasks. Finally,
there is the capacity building component which runs throughout the project. We consider it essential to
ensure that all our projects are carried out within a ‘learning-on-the-job’ environment so that the
sustainable management of these projects is ensured also after the consultant is gone.
The following sections will provide our approach and methodology for these 9 different activities and the
different activities that need to be carried out as part of the tasks.
Per task the expected deliverables are indicated, these deliverables will also be repeated in chapter 0.
2.2.1 Mobilization
All three partners for the execution of these activities, Royal HaskoningDHV (RHDHV), Vina Mekong
Engineering Consultants J.S. Company (VMEC) and International Engineering Consultant Joint Stock
Company (INTEC) are based in Vietnam.
Upon award of this project our staff will quickly be mobilised. It is noted that consultant will be based in
Can Tho. This means that arrangements for the project office and residence of staff in Can Tho will have
to be made. Thanks to our longstanding experience with working in the Mekong Delta we have a good
network in Can Tho and will be able to efficiently arrange the required facilities. We aim to set-up a project
office close to the MARD office to facilitate close cooperation. Furthermore, INTEC has an existing office
in Can Tho which can be used as appropriate during the start of mobilisation. Because of the existing
facilities in Can Tho, HCMC and Hanoi already available to the partners we expect that the mobilisation
activities can be carried out parallel to the other activities during mobilization and start-up. This means that
our staff will be immediately operation and will be able to focus all their attention to the commencement of
the services without any delay.
The agenda of the kick-off meetings will be set at the start of the projects, but topics that at least need to
be discussed are:
Introduction of staff;
Expectations of the project and the cooperation;
Expected challenges and risks during project execution that need to be managed;
Opportunities to reach impact above expectations.

We will review these documents to the ToR and our understanding of the tasks in the project and will note
any deviations between the documents and gaps in information where these documents need to be
updated. These notes will be discussed with the CPMU and incorporated in the inception report.
We expect that a series of Annexes will be required to complete the Inception Report. These will cover,
amongst others:
Confirmed ToR of PISC;
Records of kick-off meetings
ToRs for individual experts of PISC Team
At the kick-off meeting the above table of contents will be discussed with the CPMU and adaptations will
be made based on their requirements. The draft inception report will be discussed with the CPMU and
needs to be approved.

We will support the CPMU in updating the overall project implementation plan and ensure that it meets
both Vietnam governmental and WB regulations. This includes at least:
Check consistency of overall plan with subproject plans
Consistency of time-frame with respect to formal Vietnamese and WB procedures
Feasibility of the planning in relation to progress indicators
Planning risk register and propose control measures
Verify that the plan is based on plan-do-check-act
A report on the update of the implementation plan is delivered 2 months after the start of the project.
th
completed by July the 15 every year. The overall project annual work plan is then sent to WB for review,
submitted to the MPI for appraisal and to the relevant Ministries for approval.
The annual plans must be consistent with the overall implementation plan and will form the basis of
evaluation and monitoring activities. We will support the CPMU in drafting these plans. In this process the
communication with PPMUs and project owners is essential, and we need to make sure that the reports
send to the CPMU are already in line with Vietnam government and WB regulations.
In general terms we believe that long- Figure 2-2: Adaptive management cycle (Source: CDFW, 2017)
running projects with a large scope such
as this project benefit from an adaptive management approach such as shown in Figure 2-2. The key if
adaptive management is that monitoring and evaluation is an important tool to adapt the problem
definition, goals or actions that are part of the project based on the results found. Within this project we will
have to deal with several phases of the adaptive management cycle. For the subprojects which are being
prepared for construction the planning phase has already largely been concluded and these are moving
into the ‘do’ phase. For the remaining subprojects the feasibility studies need to be conducted and these
are still on the boundary of the do and the planning phase. During the implementation of the subprojects
the evaluation and response phase becomes important. The adaptive management cycle shows the steps
that are part of all the phases. It also shows that we should not be afraid to be criterial of the results of the
actions that are part of the project and that we should be willing to adapt what is going wrong.
The monitoring of project results according to the indicators set and the evaluation of the outcomes forms
an essential part of this approach.
2.3.5 Reporting
The following progress reports are foreseen to be produced as part of this task:
Report on staffing and monthly costs;
Quarterly report on implementation progress, disbursement and procurement;
Semi-annual and annual implementation reports, including implementation of safeguard measures
Mid-term evaluation report
Final report
The reporting regime is described in the POM and will be upheld during the assignment. We will support
the CPMU in preparing a planning for the delivery of these reports and assuring that contributions from
other actors are received timely. Reports of other activities are mentioned separately in the relevant
sections.
MIS are often set-up as open source systems to which all actors with the right credentials have access
and can manage the files. These are accessed through online browsers, an example of which is shown in
Figure 2-3. Such systems do need to be aligned with digital safety procedures that are in place when
dealing with governmental data. We will discuss what the best solution is for data management in this
project and propose a MIS in the inception report. The MIS will be set-up for use in the months thereafter.
Staff that will have to work with the MIS will be trained in its use.

We will use the strategy as proposed in the Mekong Delta Plan (2013) and the follow-up as confirmed in
the Mekong Delta Forums (2015, 2016 and the recent 2017) as framework for the projects. This implies
problem description that go beyond the specific need for a certaing infrastructural asset:
We will build on the general strategy of the Mekong Delta Plan
We will specify the more regional strategies of Upper Delta, Peninsula and Coastal Zone as
partially described for the review of World Bank projects in 2015/2016 (Integrated Sustainable
Livelihoods)
The problem discussion and project approach assume not only related infrastructural problems,
but the whole value chain of regional produce
The problem description needs to be viewed in the context of future development scenarios. How will the
circumstances change and what impact will they have on the perceived problem. Based on a common
understanding of these topics we will support the CPMU and PMUs in working with donor and relevant
authorities to define objectives and contents of these subprojects. We foresee that several workshops,
expert sessions and stakeholder consultants will be required to include all stakeholders.
After the content and objectives of the FS are decided upon we will provide guidance to the project owners
in setting up the FS. The FS need to be executed in accordance with the requirements set for them by the
WB and the Vietnamese government. Our team will develop an understanding of these requirements.
Finally, we will review the FS based on our understanding of the objectives of the projects and the
technical attainability of the solution suggested.
There is a strong linkage between the development of the FS and the development of Livelihood
Transformation Models (LTM) as described in paragraph 2.6. Our team will make sure that these two
activities are aligned and strengthen each other.

Project. The objective of the Dutch team was to advise on how to integrate the vision of a "prosperous and
sustainable Mekong Delta" into the projects. RHDHV was the main contributor to this Technical
Assistance Team and hence has in depth knowledge of the four proposed subprojects in An Giang, Kiên
Giang, Bến Tre and Trà Vinh. The subprojects are described in the Project Appraisal Document (PAD),
here we highlight the issues we consider to be of importance.
From an overall delta perspective it has been recommended that in the Upper Delta flood retention area
be maintained. Reverting high-dyke areas to low-dyke area would be ideal. The MDP recommends a
positive incentive be formulated to have farmers willing to work in a system with August dykes and thus
avoid the decrease of retention area.

The subproject in An Phu, An Giang Province covers an area of 22,640 ha consisting of two zones (4a
and 4b). Zone 4a is characterized as a two-rice crop area of 15,800 ha and Zone 4b is a three-rice crop
area of 6,228 ha. The subproject investments in Zone 4a include a combination of 61 km reinforced low
embankments (August dikes, which are overtopped during the seasonal flooding); 15 sluice gates to
reduce maintenance costs from overflow damages; and development of flood-based production models
(rice combined with floating vegetables and/or fish breeding) targeting an area of 1,500 ha and 2,500
households. For Zone 4b, the activities include the development of production models to support the

transition from three-rice crop to two-rice crop plus an alternative crop, targeting 1,200 households. By
avoiding the two-rice crop areas to be changed into three-rice crop areas and showcasing the profitability
of changing from three-rice crop to rice plus aquaculture or cash crops, the investments will help protect
and/or reclaim the benefits of controlled flooding. At the same time, the subproject’s activities will
contribute to increasing yields through improved flood-based production models and protecting high-value
assets.
The investments for Zone 1 include additional mangrove planting targeting an area of 250 ha and eco
mangrove-shrimp farming certification targeting an area of 1,000 ha and 300 households. The investments
for Zone 2 include a combination of structural (five sluice gates and culverts, dredging 28.7 km of canals)
and non-structural measures (mangrove-shrimp pilot models targeting an area of 2,500 ha and 2,500
households). Improvements will allow for better water resource management (control of salinity level,
improvement of water quality), which will contribute to increased productivity and salinity adaptation. The
investments for Zone 3 include the rice-prawn pilot models targeting an area of 180 ha and 150
households, and six community action plans
Figure 2-7: Zoning in the project area in Bến Tre. Source RHDHV & WUR, 2016
Trà Vinh Province and its Mang Títh irrigation system (around the year 2000) are strongly and typically
affected by the impacts of climate change that characterise its coastal water management regime and its
options for a sustainable management in the future. The province and its agricultural sector are strongly
affected by the dual, re-enforcing, impacts of salinity intrusion and fresh water shortages in the dry
season. The current land use patterns and dynamics are already strongly governed by increasing salinity
intrusion and declining fresh water supplies. Three, in fact four distinctive agricultural water use zones are
now discernible in Trà Vinh, with moving boundaries:
zone 1 outside the sea dyke,
sea and mangroves
zone 2 permanent brackish-
saline coastal zone;
zone 3A (lower) intermittent
fresh-brackish transition zone;
zone 3B (higher) fresh-water
zone, also further upstream.
The investment for Zone 3 includes the construction of three sluice gates (Tan Dinh, Bong Bot, and Vung
Liem). These structural investments will complete the system that protects freshwater area for valuable
horticulture to avoid high economic losses. The system being completed is also expected to allow for
better water resource management (control of salinity level, improvement of water quality) which
contribute to increased productivity and salinity adaptation in Zones 2 and 3.
The introduction of a brackish-water aquaculture requires a transition of larger tracts of land. Since rice-
shrimp and brackish aquaculture do not mingle, the only option is to work in larger blocks. One may
distinguish the following transition phases:
Transition of individual blocks. In the proposal there are some blocks indicated as pilot areas that
represent the first blocks that will be converted. These blocks need to be isolated from those that still
practise rice-shrimp. This is preferably done by the use of temporary dams. Within these blocks the
water infrastructure has to be optimised towards the use of aquaculture ponds.
Transition of the entire zone up to the Chong My canal based on the experiences of the first block.
Transition of the next zone. It may be difficult to maintain rice-shrimp in the entire area. So in future
also the zone adjacent to the Chong My canal may need to be converted to brackish water
aquaculture.
Rebuilding the water infrastructure needs to be preceded by setting up farmers cooperatives on the scale
of individual blocks. An alternative first step may be a conversion to a mangrove shrimp system. This does
not require large scale conversion to a cascading system and may be proposed as on pilot/option close to
the coast.
The subproject in An Minh-An Bien District, Kien Giang Province covers an area of 60,800 ha and also
follows a three-zoned coastal management approach. Zone 1 is a mangrove belt of 6,669 ha, Zone 2
combines a saline production zone and a brackish-water zone of 54,131 ha, and Zone 3 is the saltwater
intrusion zone. The investments for Zone 1 include a combination of structural (10 km of coastal wave
breakers) and nonstructural measures (mangrove planting along the coastline targeting an area of 250
ha). The investments for Zone 2 include a combination of structural measures (nine sluice gates) costing
and nonstructural measures (biosecure aquaculture, eco-shrimp, and rice-shrimp pilot models targeting an
area of 7,500 ha and 6,500 households). The investments will contribute to enhanced coastal protection
for the area and support transition saline-brackish production models as an appropriate alternative for
rain-fed rice and extensive shrimp farming outside the wet season, through a tide-based system of canal
cascades with separate water intake and outflow.
The activities of the CPMU in which we will assist are the following:
Review construction execution schedules for the entire subproject;
Monitor the progress of construction works and ensure that these remain on schedule;
Provide guidance on quality management measures.
Upon the start of the project working agreements will be made with PMUs responsible for the
implementation of the subprojects regarding reporting and submission of data to the CPMU. These
working agreements need to be in line with MARD and WB guidelines as detailed in the Project
Operational Manual (POM). The agreements need to ensure:
Timely delivery of reports and information meeting all the MARD and WB criteria;
CPMU to be fully informed of status of all project components, in order to inform the client in a
timely manner regarding any issues relating to project progress, with appropriate proposals for
resolving any problems, including the role of the CPMU in facilitating the PMUs in implementing
solutions;
It is critical that all project components comply with the World Bank’s Environmental Safeguarding
criteria and all relevant legal requirements in relation to health, safety and welfare and insurance.
The PISC team will ensure they develop a full understanding of these requirements from the
project outset so that they can flag issues are appropriate. However, final responsibility of
monitoring of project safeguard compliance lies with the Independent Monitoring Consultant.
Furthermore, our team will develop an internal working guideline on quality control as part of the inception
report. Our team includes staff with detailed expert knowledge about procurement and project planning,
irrigation, hydraulic works and other sectors related to the construction works.

In the Technical Review Dutch Team on alignment with Mekong Delta Plan Framework our experts
already provided some guidance to different livelihood models that can be implemented in the Mekong
Delta, and an example of this is shown in Textbox 2-1.
Such livelihood models are a first step towards Livelihood Transformation Models (LTM). However, more
detail is needed on how communities are going to move from their current means of existence towards a
new approach. Finding the right incentives and ensuring that LTMs are in line with the interest of local
stakeholders is essential in this.
LTM need to be tailor made per region and need to connect that changes the results from the
implementation of the subprojects. Involvement of local stakeholders in the design and implementation of
LTMs is equally important. Implementation LTMs with the support of communities at a small scale and
expanding towards a larger scale once a LTM proofs to be successful seems the best way to ensure that
they achieve the output that is hoped for.
Textbox 2-1: Parallel brackish water cascades for aquaculture (RHDHV & WUR, 2016)
It is a sequence of ponds, carnivore, herbivore and shrimps or a sequence of carnivore and a poly-
culture of shrimp and herbivore fish.
The intake point has an ensured acceptable salinity level and a limited risk of pollution and disease.
So it is situated at the coast (constant salinity), sufficiently far from other discharge points or
potential sources of pollution.
The discharge point is preferably situated in a location that can handle pollution, especially higher
levels of nutrients. This can be an area with sufficient flushing (coastal area with currents and
waves), flushing (river discharge) or mangroves (uptake capacity by plants and by sedimentation).
The cascades are ideally situated in the form of parallel tracts. These can be parallel regarding the
whole cascade, or as far as the shrimp ponds are concerned. Other than in circulating systems,
running parallel better limits the risks of diseases.
Figure 2-10: Example of a parallel cascade system for sustainable brackish aquaculture
So the simplest systems take water from the sea and discharge water to the sea. It can also take water from
the sea and discharge into the river. A third option is a cascading system in the form of a circulation system
in which the (internal) discharge point may consists of a sufficiently large mangrove patch from where the
water is fed back into the system or an internal set of ponds with the capacity to filter and purify the water
(see below). This latter option may be attractive where it is difficult to guarantee salinity and quality of the
intake point, where tidal amplitude is too small so pumps are already needed, or if there is a strong
preference, for example by a farmer or cooperative to establish an isolated system. A circulating cascade is
also a preferred option in the case of high suspended solid concentrations.
A key item that needs to be included in the implementation plans is the indicators by which the quality and
success of the LTM implementation will be monitored. Based on these indicators we will support the
CPMU in setting up a monitoring network by which the progress and success of the LTMs can be
monitored. The provision of data and reports that need to be collected to ensure effective monitoring will
be discussed with the PMUs.
As mentioned in section 2.6.1 the involvement of local stakeholders is essential for the success of the
LTMs. We will support the Provincial PMUs is establishing agriculture cooperatives that will support the
process. In this task it is important to communicate clearly with the farmers involved on the benefits of
their involvement and make sure that they feel a sense of ownership towards the project. Furthermore, we
will support in setting up capacity building programs for local stakeholders such as farmers, village leaders
and government officials that will help them to support the project at field level.
Finally, when a LTM proves to be successful by both scoring high on the impact indicators and having the
support of the local stakeholders we will help the CPMU and PMU in findings ways to upscale the model.

The subproject will develop a ‘Real-Time Operation System for Hydraulic Infrastructure in the Mekong
Delta’. This consists of (a) updating the hydraulic, agricultural, and monitoring databases; (b) upgrading
existing delta water resource models; (c) simulating different flood and drought scenarios to develop
operational protocols; and (d) enhancing the sharing of information, communication, and warning systems.
Forecast information serves the management and operation of works in the flood season (long-term
forecasting in early flood season, forecasting the flood peak period, and forecasting flood withdrawal).
Also, it supports the management and operation of works in low-flow season (long-term forecasting in
early low-flow season, forecasting lowest flow period, and forecasting less severe salinity period, end of
salinity intrusion)
The envisioned tool in this sense bears resemblance to Decision Support Systems (DSS). We see several
projects related to DSS being implemented in Vietnam and the Mekong Delta especially, such as the
“Technical Assistance to Upgrade the Decision Support System and Support Water Resources Planning
Studies for Sesan and Srepok River Basin” that will be implemented under the WB funded Mekong
Integrated Water Management Project. We consider it important that such ICT based projects are aligned,
and that a proliferation of data-management systems which are not able to communicate with each other
is prevented. Other projects in which DSS tools have been or will be developed are:
Subproject 4 (under the Component 1 of MD-ICRSL) on Mekong Delta Database Center: the
subproject will be implemented by MONRE to build the integrated database related to water
resources and environment for analyzing, asssessing and informing decision makers about
sustainable development in context of climate change.
Subproject 6 (under the Component 1 of MD-ICRSL) on Mekong Delta Comprehensive
Infrastructure Development System for Climate Change Adaptation and Socio-economic
Development. Under this subproject MPI will develop the Decision Support Framework (DSF) to
support the analysis and assesssment of the proposed development scenarios and investment
program (with priority, “no-regret” and “low-regret” measures).
Decision Support Tool (DST) for the Mekong Delta Coastal Protection Measures: this project is
completed in July 2017 by Dutch Consortium led by HaskoningDHV to develop DST for the Ca
Mau and Kien Giang Provinces.
Hoi An Flood Early Warning System (funded by ADB). This project will implement one of the most
urgent non-structural measures which is the installation and upgrading of a comprehensive flood
forecasting and warning system (FFWS) for Vu Gia-Thu Bon river system, combined with a
Decision Support System (DSS). The FFWS that has been identified as an urgent need in the Vu
Gia - Thu Bon basin aims at improving the procedures for flood warning and timely evacuation,
while the DSS will enable the analysis of both structural and non-structural measures regarding
flood management, and the study of water shortage problems and/or salinity intrusion during dry
periods.
The Consortium consisting of HaskoningDHV, Deltares (lead) and Safege (French) is selected to
execute this project which is expected to commence the service in October 2017.
Based on this implementation plan we will support CPMU in preparing TORs for data collection, surveys
and establish specialized database informing forecasts. Based on the responses to these TORs we will
help the CPMU to select a forecasting tool that is able to process data that becomes available from
equipment and monitoring station in the Mekong Delta and can be aligned with other initiatives in this field.
The PDO shows that the forecasting tool needs to be able to interact with several models:
Hydraulic model MIKE 11;
Water quality model MIKE11;
Model on tidal prediction and saline line prediction (MIKE21/TELEMAC);
SCADA;
Meteorological, hydrological models;
Models on forecasting of production and water demand.
Our staff has extensive experience with all these models and will be able to provide detailed advice on
how to deal with such requirements. Finally, we will support the CPMU during sub-project implementation,
including the related procurement and contract management activities as outlined in section 0.
Textbox 2-2: Model knowledge RHDHV
The direct and indirect economic and social impact of flooding is huge. Climate change and specifically sea
level rise further enhance flood risk in deltas. We focus on the planning, modelling and design of solutions to
reduce flood risk for public and private clients in delta areas. Royal HaskoningDHV has a very strong and long
track record in flood risk reduction delivered by ICT applications such as hydrodynamic and morphological
modelling studies with SOBEK, MIKE11 and MIKE21 software of DHI, WAQUA 2D flow model and Delft3D
software of Deltares, Matlab, SCADA and GIS geoprocessing. Especially in Vietnam we have a hydraulic
modelling group, consisting of experienced hydrodynamic modellers who undertake a wide range of hydraulic
modelling projects from local Vietnam-based assignments through to major international multi-disciplinary river
basin, port and coastal engineering projects. They are familiar with numerical modelling of flow phenomena
and related processes in rivers, coastal areas and seas (e.g. waves, currents, sediment transport and
morphology), and have strong knowledge on MIKE software packages.
We have been involved in numerous large coastal and river flooding projects at all continents of the world.
Recent projects have been executed in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, New Orleans, Trinidad,
Colombia, Mozambique, Azerbaijan, Thailand, Australia and Vietnam. We have delivered the full chain from
initial ideas to project implementation for public and private clients through sketch and feasibility studies,
conceptual and detailed designs and also supervision of projects. The returns on these investments of our
clients have become clear during extreme events in the years after implementation of these projects. We will
make this knowledge available in the development of the forecasting tool.

This training plan will be updated annually, based on insights on capacity building needs that have been
developed in the previous year. The training program at least includes a part on training in WB
procedures, specifically in procurement, contract management and financial management. The training
plan will furthermore at least assess the following points:
Knowledge gaps and learning objectives identified;
Suggested training programs;
Suggested staff for training programs;
Timing and location of execution
Cost estimates
Based on the annually updated training plans we will support the preparation of Terms of References and
keep track of the activities performed, including the number of participants and the learning objectives
realised. The perceived effectiveness of training programs will be evaluated and outcomes will be sued to
shape the update of the training plan for the next year.
The table below provides some initial ideas about the types and content of training that can be delivered.
This table will be reviewed and amended during the development of the training plan. Participants of the
training sessions will also be decided at this point.
Table 2-1: Initial suggestions for training programs
Training topic Content
The training is based on the WB’s project management procedures and covers a
Overall WB project comprehensive introduction of the procedures as well as some specific aspects such as design,
management construction, procurement, and financial management. Through this training it will be achieved
participants will have a full understanding of the requirements of WB’s project management
The contents are mainly: i) preparation of supervision monthly report and its use; ii) preparation
of quarterly progress report for each component; and iii) preparation of total project progress
Project progress reports. When carrying out the training, full preparation will be made so all participants can be
control actively involved. It is proposed that at first intensive training will be in the form of a seminar
and workshop and should be conducted with subsequent guidance to be offered during
preparation and use of the reports.
Claim and variation Contents of the training will mainly include: i) establishment of claim/variation procedure and
procedure implementation with special emphasis placed on the type and characteristics of the contract,
the coordination of nationally adopted documents, and WB contract; ii) the emphasis and
principle of review for claim and variation; iii) valuation basis for claim/variation; and iv) format
of variation order.
Contents of training: i) measurement basis, principle and method with special attention should
Measurement, loan be paid to the relationship between technical specification, notes to BOQs, and that between
disbursement pro- special conditions and general conditions; ii) format of monthly statement. It is required that
cedures, financial following this training the resident engineers should fully know how to use and IAs should
management and understand. iii) WB’s disbursement policies, guidelines, practices, and procedures. The four
payment pillars of an efficient disbursement operation are: a) funds flow structure; b) disbursement
arrangements; c) staff capacity and systems, and d) internal controls.
Training on project procurement will be conducted according to the project progress. To meet
Project the requirements of the WB’s project management, trainings will be conducted on civil works
procurement and goods procurement respectively so that the participants will be very familiar with the
requirements of project procurement.
Technical According to the requirements of WB’s management, we will adopt typical examples in the
specifications of training and work out crucial points of the method for the preparation of technical specifications
bidding documents of bidding documents and Bill of Quantities on the basis of final design documents approved by
and BOQs relevant units.
Project Contents of training include: differences between monitoring and evaluation; logical framework
performance as basis for evaluation; evaluation design models (experimental, quasi-experimental, case
monitoring and studies); statistical concepts; random and non-random sampling; stratification and different
evaluation sample selection methods; data evaluation; presenting results.

In order to be able to monitor and manage the project effectively, it is important maintain a realistic and
up-to-date procurement plan and the Consultant will support the CPMU and different PMUs to review the
procurement plans. The Procurement Plan for the first 18 months has been prepared and agreed during
the project preparation and we will review this plan at the start of the services based on the available
information and the progress achieved prior to the start of the PISC services. The Procurement Plan will
thereafter be reviewed and updated on an annual basis or if required in case of major developments the
Procurement Plan can be updated at intermediate periods. After updating the Procurement Plan we will
assists the PMUs to obtain the World Bank’s no-objection.
2.9.2 Procurement
The Procurement Plan will be the basis for the overall management of procurement activities. The
management of procurement activities will cover the following aspects for which we will provide assistance
and support PMUs to:
Procurement will follow World Bank guidelines and the relevant provisions in the Financing Agreement
except when contracts (goods, works or services) are 100% financed from the domestic funds. In these
cases procurement procedures following the national Procurement Law and relevant Decrees will be
adopted. Compliance with World Bank and National procedures is key to prevent any undue delays. Not
all parties and organisations might be fully familiar with the procedures that have to be applied. It is
essential to ensure that all parties involved have sufficient knowledge and an understanding of the
procedures. Ensuring compliance with these rules and procedures must be viewed as a key consideration
and we therefore plan to address this at the earlier stage of the project
The World Bank standard bidding documents and requests for proposal will be used for all packages that
are (partially) financed from World Bank funds and therefore most of the components will be standard that
will not require input from the PISC. Besides contractual issues such as the Special Conditions of
Contract, the support and assistance of the PISC will focus on technical documents for the procurement of
works and goods and Terms of References for services. This will cover:
Goods packages: review of technical specification of goods to ensure that appropriate bids can be
prepared by potential suppliers.
Works packages: the review of works packages will be more extensive and will cover detailed
design, quantities, technical specifications, and cost estimates;
Service packages: review of the Terms of Reference for the services which will focus on
consistency and completeness of the ToR.
Another important aspect will be the review of cost estimates. The cost estimate of each package will be
reviewed on the basis of the current price, following the stipulations on norms, prices and relevant
guidance documents for preparation of construction cost estimate in Vietnam; and complying with the
Regulations on Official Development Assistance (ODA) management issued together with the Decree No.
131/2006/ND-CP dated 9 November 2006 of the Government of Vietnam.
The support for the procurement process will cover the complete procurement cycle from planning, the
preparation of bidding documents and requests for proposals, support during the bidding process, the
evaluation of bids and proposals until the award and finalisation of the contract. During this process it is
important to monitor progress and therefore we will advise the PMUs to establish a tracking system for the
review of the bidding documents and to follow up on milestones of the procurement process with special
emphasis in the bidding process. This system aims to monitor and manage the overall process of the
bidding document, milestones and approvals.
We will also assist the PMUs and the CPU to prepare project progress report as requested by WB and
assist on review of disbursements. The Consultant will assist the PCU/PMUs with the administration of
contract performance, in both construction progress and quality control aspects.
Based on our experience, we will assist the PMUs with progress and quality control. We suggest
establishing a management system that includes:
regular meeting among the PCU/PMUs, Contractors, Supervision Company and the Consultant
Team;
specific reporting on issues of project progress and engineering quality;
regular site visits to inspect progress and quality;
a communication plan which clearly identifies a designated person in charge for the PMUs and
other parties like the Design Consultants, Construction Company, and Supervision Company;
An important part of contract management is the supervision on site for which supervising consultants will
be engaged. Nevertheless, we suggest that the PMUs together with the PISC will carry-out joint site visits
from time to time on a regular basis. This will enable the PMUs to review progress on site and discuss and
resolve issues.
The Consultant will participate in monthly and quarterly meetings to discuss with the PCU/PMUs, or
personnel from design consultants, construction Supervision Companies, and contractors on the progress
of each contract package and other issues to be addressed so as to facilitate the problems solving and
project implementation, including preparation of minutes for each meeting.
Payment processes are also essential to maintain construction progress. The importance of the payment
process will be explained to all parties involved and the responsibilities of each party will be defined. In
addition, we will review payment certificates with an emphasis on:
whether the payment complies with contract documents;
for lump sum items, whether the payment percentage is appropriate in relation to progress;
for advance payment, whether the repayment is in accordance with specifications.

The update of the financial management and disbursement chapter will go hand in hand with the
development of a financial management system. We consider it important to have a properly working
financial management system to monitor project finances. When such as system is set up properly at the
start of the project, it will save a lot of time during monitoring and the production of financial reports.
Based on our experience on WB financed projects, a monthly statement template will be proposed which
will be easy to understand and use for the cost control for related parties (ie, Contractors, Resident
Engineers and the PMUs). The template will clearly show disbursement of advance payment, repayment
of advance payment, payment out of BOQ, payment of claim/variation, advance payment for materials to
be incorporated into permanent works and retention money.
During the update of the financial management manual and the set-up of the financial management
system we will pay close attention towards the requirements of the World Bank and the Vietnamese
Government. If any conflicts between these requirements are noted they will be flagged immediately and
discussed with the client and WB as appropriate.
Prior to the development of such reports we will discuss the template and auditing procedures with the
independent auditing consultant to guarantee a smooth auditing procedure.
Our staff will timely flag any issues that arise with the finances of the project. We will also ensure that they
are fully knowledgeable of the World Banks and the Vietnamese Government’s rules and regulations on
fraud and corruption. We will clearly set-out the procedure for reporting expected issues in this respect to
them.

3 Work plan
3.1 General
Much of the approach followed in the work plan is already described in the previous chapter. The project is
divided in three general work-packages:
Al three of these work-packages has strong interrelations with the others. Overall project management
activities are focussed on keeping track of -and steering where required- the progress that is made with
tasks that are part of the subproject preparation and implementation activities. Capacity building activities
need to be an integrated part of all this to ensure long term sustainability of the project.
Tech-5 provides a detailed work schedule which shows that there are a number of support-tasks which
require continuous input from the PISC, such as general project management, monitoring of
implementation progress and support in financial management and procurement. Execution of such
ongoing tasks will be based on three pillars:
Clear communication: Regular meetings with the CPMU to discuss progress of the activities and
identify where support is needed and how the PISC can best provide this;
Cooperation: The CPMU and PISC have a joined responsibility for the execution of the tasks. We
aim to build a setting in which the CPMU and PISC are complementary to each other. We feel that
personal connections are important in this respect. That is why at the start of the project we will
pay attention to introductory activities and aim to create connections between staffs of both
parties.
On-the-job training: As part of the cooperation we will involve CPMU staff in our supporting
activities where possible and allow to them to understand the tools and procedures used.

The approach towards setting up a Management Information System (MIS) which will process data is
described in section 2.3.6. Simultaneous to setting up this MIS we will develop data provision forms and
formats which will be used to gather data from PMUs and other actors. This will ensure that data received
is consistent from all providers and includes the information required for synthesizing the data into overall
project reports.
1. Risk Register: A Risk Register will be developed and will be set up and maintained throughout the
project as a database of all risks associated with all subprojects and the overarching programme.
It will include an assessment of the likelihood and severity of the risks and the planned responses
for risk reduction and mitigation.
2. Risk Identification and Ranking: The risks need to be identified and their severity assessed in a
way that is consistent across all parts of the project. The planned responses need to have a
consistent system for assessing and prioritising actions. While special risk studies will be required
in various areas, such as construction, environment and social, these must be carried out and
consolidated within a coherent framework.
3. The risks (or risk events) will be examined in terms of their likelihood of occurrence in the duration
of the project, and the severity of the impacts. The second of these requires some measure or
ranking which is as objective as possible. Severity of impact is best seen in relation to the degree
to which the objectives of the stakeholders may be compromised. While engineering, financial,
environmental, social impacts need to be monitored separately, for reporting purposes each can
be related back to a common scale of severity.
4. Risk Response Plans: For risks which are deemed to be critical in the Risk Register, a Risk
Management Plan will be developed identifying the responsibilities of all parties in the event of the
risk being realised. The plan will include the mobilisation of materials and resources and for
communications within the project team, with the Client, Government agencies and emergency
services, general public and the media, as appropriate.
5. Contractor's Risk Management: We would expect the contractors for each subproject to develop
their own Risk Management systems. We would carry out joint assessments with the contractors
and agree responsibilities for managing risk in risk response plans, in accordance with the terms
of their Contracts. However, the CPMU has a broader range of interests than the contractors, so
as PISC we will prepare an independent risk review of the project for the CPMU and provide
regular updates as a key part of the quarterly project reports.
6. Updating and Reporting: The Risk Register and Risk Response Plans will be regularly updated
and monitored throughout the project, to meet the changing project status and changing external
circumstances. Any significant variances from the programme, performance of the Contractor or
financial status of the project, and any external events not originally anticipated will be subject to
risk assessment with recommendations for an appropriate response.
The Project Appraisal Document already takes note of the following substantial risks for the programme:
Sector strategies and policy risks: the climate-related policy issues in the Mekong Delta are
complex as they cover a range of sectors.
Technical design risks: the main technical challenge is the farmer livelihood transitions that are
enabled by the infrastructure
Institutional capacity risk: adopting a cross-sectoral and regional approach within the relatively
rigid administrative systems in Vietnam will be a challenge
Fiduciary risks: decentralization in the project design, which requires greater capacity and
accountability
Some other risks are identified as moderate. We would like to amend this risk assessment with at least
one other risk:
Delays - Establishment of Approval and Payment Procedures: Experience has shown us that one
of the most common causes of contract delays results from delay of payments to the contractors,
which adversely affects their cash flow and consequently the construction progress. The methods
of measurement and payment of the works are specified in the tender and contract documents
and the general procedures for payments are specified in the general conditions. However, time
periods for payment procedures and formats of statements and certificates can be customised to
suit project requirements. We will analyse the documents and the breakdown of the programme of
the Works of the contractors and will recommend appropriate procedures and programmes for
applications, submissions, certifications and payments. It is important that all parties are aware of
their role and responsibilities related to timely processing of payments. We will take a proactive
approach in whatever measures prove desirable, to assist the various parties and to facilitate
smooth processing of payments, which will minimise the risk of disruption of physical progress.
These and other risks will be included in the risk register and managed through the approach described
above.
It is understood that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) will act as executing
agency for the coordination of the entire ICRSL project. A Project Steering Committee will provide
guidance to the implementation of the project and the Central Project management Unit (CPMU) will be
responsible for the overall project management.
At local level the Provincial People's Committees (PPC) will assign their DARD as Subproject owner and
Provincial Project Management Units (PPMU) will be formed. The Irrigation Construction Management
Board No. 10 will be project owner of Subproject 1 in Component 2, Subproject 6 in Component 3 and will
hence also have a Project Management Unit (PMU).
The detailed responsibilities and tasks of the different actors are described in the Project Operation
Manual (POM) which will be an important reference document for those involved in project management.
The Project Implementation Support Consultant (PISC) will mostly interact with the CPMU and the
different PMUs. As part of the responsibilities of the PISC it is however expected that the PISC also needs
to discuss the status of the project with the other actors and involve them in decision making when
appropriate. The PISC will thus support the CPMU and PMU’’s with the implementation of the project and
its subprojects, according to schedule, while project outputs are achieved in accordance with requirements
of the donor and regulations of Vietnam Government.
For this project, RHDHV Vietnam is in the lead and will be supported by our office in the Netherlands. Both
VMEC and INTEC will act as sub consultants to RHDHV. The staff selected for the PISC team will work
as a single team with no differences between the staff members from the different companies. All team
members will report to the team leader and backstopping is also arranged by our delegated Project
Director from the Vietnam office, with support from the HaskoningDHV the Netherlands.

Figure 4-3 shows the organisation of personnel and their division over the three work groups. The division
is an indication of the work group in which most of their work will take place. In practice, all team members
are likely to work on all work packages and offer support where required.
The work group which executes the ICRSL project management and general tasks is formed by the Team
Leader and senior expert in water management Henry Clark. Henry has extensive experience with project
management support projects for international financing institutes, including experience in Vietnam. Henry
will be supported by Truong Tuan Duy, who has worked extensively on the Mekong Delta Plan and the
resulting projects.

activities and able to support each other when required.
Our team composition consists of a good mixture of senior and medior experts. The key team members
are very experienced people who will be able to provide optimal support to the CPMU and PMU based on
their extensive experience. The staff members of the different consortium parties are selected solely
based on their suitability for the positions, resulting in the strongest team that these companies together
are able to form for this project. We are confident that this team can provide the support in the
implementation of the ICRSL project that is required.

From 1995 to now, the water treatment plant has been operated very well and the treated water quality
is better than the other water treatment plants in Metro Manila. Now, problems of the plant
encountered comprise process optimization and equipment improvement. For the former, during the
typhoon season, from July to September every year, the value of turbidity in raw water was much
higher than the design basis (350 NTU); while the peak value reached nearly 2,000 NTU, which
resulted in the bad clarified water quality due to the short sludge settling time. For the latter, a large
number of equipment is getting close to end of the life time and updating replacement as necessary.
In order to get a satisfied treated water quality during the typhoon season, the treated water has to be
decreased in 70% of the full capacity. One of the critical issues was the existing sludge extraction
system, which was not enough to receive so much sludge produced from the Pulsators. As LP-2
serves for about 3.2 million people in Metro Manila, the water treatment capacity and water quality are
two key points to keep the water delivery system running.
