Abstract

The Mekong Delta is a vital region for agriculture in Southeast Asia, supporting millions of livelihoods. However, the region faces increasing challenges due to climate change, water scarcity, and unsustainable agricultural practices. This paper reviews the current water management practices in the Mekong Delta and evaluates their effectiveness in mitigating the environmental impacts of agriculture. The study suggests that integrating sustainable farming techniques, such as crop diversification and efficient irrigation systems, can reduce water consumption and enhance soil health. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of policy reforms in enhancing water governance to ensure equitable access to water resources for all sectors.
