Focus on implementing solutions. Prioritize the exploitation and use of surface water resources, gradually reduce the exploitation of medium and large-scale groundwater resources for areas with favorable surface water resources or inter-provincial water supply systems. For rainwater resources, it is necessary to build structures to store them, combined with irrigation systems to build large-scale, multi-purpose water reservoirs to supply water for daily life and production.
Regarding long-term solutions, the construction of water plants must be completed in the coming time. Along with these solutions, Soc Trang province in general and My Tu district in particular also need to focus on technological solutions. Accordingly, for large-capacity inter-provincial water treatment plants, it is necessary to use advanced, modern technology that is adaptable to climate change and environmentally friendly; for small-scale plants, applying traditional water treatment technology, step by step improving it to suit the management and operation capacity of the water supply unit.
Research and apply brackish and salt water treatment technology to supply water to residential areas with saline water sources or without the ability to connect to inter-provincial water plants. Ensure the exploitation and use of water resources reasonably and economically, adapting to climate change, flooding, rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion, limiting the use and exploitation of large-scale groundwater.
Synchronously build technical infrastructure, promote socio-economic development and improve people's living conditions.
Manage and develop stable and sustainable water supply on the basis of optimal exploitation of resources; encourage economic sectors to participate in investment in construction and management of water supply systems.
The clean water treatment technology applied must be suitable for the capacity of the water plant, the composition and properties of the raw water source; the quality of water after treatment must meet the quality standards for drinking and domestic water .
In addition, promote propaganda work, raise awareness for authorities at all levels and people about climate change and the challenges facing the Mekong Delta and Soc Trang province; be proactive in adapting to climate change and its impacts.
other from upstream; call for and mobilize resources to protect, restore and develop forests, especially protective forests, coastal and riverine mangrove forests.
Specific solutions to treat saline water in My Tu district:
Due to the characteristics of the thesis research area, it is a low-lying area with a dense river system, with a density of 0.32 km 2 /ha. Therefore, this is an area with abundant surface water resources. The proposed location for the construction of the Water Supply Station at Canal 8 Thuoc is one of the large canal systems in the area, with a surface width of 36 meters, a bottom of 22 meters, an average water depth of 1.8 meters, and a maximum depth of 2.5 meters. Water quality is guaranteed according to the National Technical Regulation QCVN 08:2008/BTNMT on surface water quality issued by the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment.
With the above conditions, it is possible to build a water supply station with a capacity of 14,900 m3 / day and night, serving 19,000 households.
In the situation of surface water being infiltrated with salt in the dry months, the maximum salinity is 10.7‰ according to the measurement results of the Nga Nam Town Irrigation Station, the measurement point is at Nam Kieu Canal, the common salinity is at 2‰ on the canal branches in My Tu district. Deploy a solution to treat salt water for people and the existing water supply station system using RO technology.
- For scattered households: instruct households to use RO water purifiers with popular brands such as Kagaroo, Karofi, Omega... with the ability to filter salinity less than 2‰ with a capacity of 10 liters/hour, common price from 4-6 million VND/machine with output water quality according to QCVN01:2009/BYT, the above flow rate ensures drinking needs during the dry season.
- For existing centralized water supply works managed by the Center: use industrial RO systems with a capacity of 10-20 m3/h. This type has been piloted at the Tong Cang Water Supply Station in Lieu Tu Commune, Tran De District, with a current capacity of 10 m3/h to provide clean water for 300-400 households. Cost 600 million VND.
With solutions using RO technology, it is possible to handle saline intrusion of groundwater (commonly 1‰) and cope with saline intrusion of surface water up to 2‰. By
The proposed solution to deal with salinity intrusion according to the research above can cope with the unusual developments of salinity intrusion in the research area of the thesis.
3.1.2 Proposed solutions for water transportation and distribution
Climate change is evolving very complicatedly, directly affecting water resources in the area in particular and globally in general. To minimize the impact of climate change, special attention should be paid to exploited water resources, which need to be surveyed, assessed sustainably and exploited and managed appropriately. Based on the assessment of water resources in the area, the thesis proposes to build a common water supply system for the entire district to exploit surface water from the Hau River through the 8 Thuoc Canal.
The thesis proposes to integrate the network of small water supply stations in the district into a centralized water supply network at the district level, providing water to the entire rural area of the district.
This is a solution to ensure good monitoring of water quality, exploited water sources, and operation management in line with development trends in the 4.0 technology era, easy application of water treatment technology, technology in operation management, system administration, reducing investment costs,...
3.1.3 Separate network zones, use separate transmission pipelines to each water supply area in the district
a. Calculating the capacity and hydraulic operation of the water supply pipeline for the entire My Tu district system:[1]
Based on the rural population of My Tu district in 2018, the population growth rate in the area and the clean water supply target by 2025, the thesis calculates the demand for water use.
water use, treatment plant capacity is 14,900 m3 / day and night.

of the islanders. Therefore, this indicator will be divided into two sub-indicators:
a1. Natural tourism attractiveness a2. Cultural tourism attractiveness
b. Tourist capacity
The two island communes in Quan Lan have different capacities to receive tourists. Minh Chau Commune is home to many standard hotels and resorts, attracting high-income domestic and international tourists. Meanwhile, Quan Lan Commune has many motels mainly built and operated by local people, so the scale and quality are not high, and will be suitable for ordinary tourists such as students.
c. Time of exploitation of Quan Lan Island Commune:
Quan Lan tourism is seasonal due to weather and climate conditions and festivals only take place on certain days of the year, specifically in spring. In Quan Lan commune, the period from April to June and from September to November is considered the best time to visit Quan Lan because the cultural tourism activities are mainly associated with festivals taking place during this time.
Minh Chau island commune:
Tourism exploitation time is all year round, because this is a place with a number of tourist attractions with diverse ecosystems such as Bai Tu Long National Park Research Center, Tram forest, Turtle Laying Beach, so besides coming to the beach for tourism and vacation in the summer, Minh Chau will attract research groups to come for tourism combined with research at other times of the year.
d. Sustainability
The sustainability of ecotourism sites in Quan Lan and Minh Chau communes depends on the sensitivity of the ecosystems to climate changes.
landscape. In general, these tourist destinations have a fairly high level of sustainability, because they are natural ecosystems, planned and protected. However, if a large number of tourists gather at certain times, it can exceed the carrying capacity and affect the sustainability of the environment (polluted beaches, damaged trees, animals moving away from their habitats, etc.), then the sustainability of the above ecosystems (natural ecosystems, human ecosystems) will also be affected and become less sustainable.
e. Location and accessibility
Both island communes have ports to take tourists to visit from Van Don wharf:
- Quan Lan – Van Don traffic route:
Phuc Thinh – Viet Anh high-speed boat and Quang Minh high-speed boat, depart at 8am and 2pm from Van Don to Quan Lan, and at 7am and 1pm from Quan Lan to Van Don. There are also wooden boats departing at 7am and 1pm.
- Van Don - Minh Chau traffic route:
Chung Huong high-speed train, Minh Chau train, morning 7:30 and afternoon 13:30 from Van Don to Minh Chau, morning 6:30 and afternoon 13:00 from Minh Chau to Van Don.
f. Infrastructure
Despite receiving investment attention, the issue of infrastructure and technical facilities for tourism on Quan Lan Island is still an issue that needs to be resolved because it has a direct impact on the implementation of ecotourism activities. The minimum conditions for serving tourists such as accommodation, electricity, water, communication, especially medical services, and security work need to be given top priority. Ecotourism spots in Minh Chau commune are assessed to have better infrastructure and technical facilities for tourism because there are quite complete and synchronous conditions for serving tourists, meeting many needs of domestic and foreign tourists.
3.2.1.4. Determine assessment levels and assessment scales
Corresponding to the levels of each criterion, the index is the score of those levels in the order of 4, 3, 2, 1 decreasing according to the standard of each level: very attractive (4), attractive (3), average (2), less attractive (1).
3.2.1.5. Determining the coefficients of the criteria
For the assessment of DLST in the two communes of Quan Lan and Minh Chau islands, the students added evaluation coefficients to show the importance of the criteria and indicators as follows:
Coefficient 3 with criteria: Attractiveness, Exploitation time. These are the 2 most important criteria for attracting tourists to tourism in general and eco-tourism in particular, so they have the highest coefficient.
Coefficient 2 with criteria: Capacity, Infrastructure, Location and accessibility . Because the assessment area is an island commune of Van Don district, the above criteria are selected by the author with appropriate coefficients at the average level.
Coefficient 1 with criteria: Sustainability. Quan Lan has natural and human-made ecotourism sites, with high biodiversity and little impact from local human factors. Most of the ecotourism sites are still wild, so they are highly sustainable.

Basically, both Minh Chau and Quan Lan localities have quite favorable conditions for developing ecotourism. However, Quan Lan commune has more advantages to develop ecotourism in a humanistic direction, because this is an area with many famous historical relics such as Quan Lan Communal House, Quan Lan Pagoda, Temple worshiping the hero Tran Khanh Du, ... along with local festivals held annually such as the wind praying ceremony (March 15), Quan Lan festival (June 10-19); due to its location near the port and long exploitation time, the beaches in Quan Lan commune (especially Quan Lan beach) are no longer hygienic and clean to ensure the needs of tourists coming to relax and swim; this is also an area with many beautiful landscapes such as Got Beo wind pass, Ong Phong head, Voi Voi cave, but the ability to access these places is still very limited (dirt hill road, lots of gravel and rocks), especially during rainy and windy times; In addition, other natural resources such as mangrove forests and sea worms have not been really exploited for tourism purposes and ecotourism development. On the contrary, Minh Chau commune has more advantages in developing ecotourism in the direction of natural tourism, this is an area with diverse ecosystems such as at Rua De Beach, Bai Tu Long National Park Conservation Center...; Minh Chau beach is highly appreciated for its natural beauty and cleanliness, ranked in the top ten most beautiful beaches in Vietnam; Minh Chau commune is also home to Tram forest with a large area and a purity of up to 90%, suitable for building bridges through the forest (a very effective type of natural ecotourism currently applied by many countries) for tourists to sightsee, as well as for the purpose of studying and researching.

3.2.2. Using SWOT matrix to evaluate Quan Lan island tourism
General assessment of current tourism activities of Quan Lan island is shown through the following SWOT matrix:
Table 3.5: SWOT matrix evaluating tourism activities on Quan Lan island
Internal agent
Strengths- There is a lot of potential for tourism development, especially natural ecotourism and humanistic ecotourism.- The unskilled labor force is relatively abundant.- resource environmentunpolluted, still
Weaknesses- Poorly developed infrastructure, especially traffic routes to tourist destinations on the island.- The team of professional staff is still weak.- Tourism products in general
quite wild, originalintact
general and DLST in particularalone is monotonous.
External agents
Opportunity- Tourism is a key industry in the socio-economic development strategy of the province and Van Don economic zone.- Quan Lan was selected as a pilot area for eco-tourism development within the framework of the green growth project between Quang Ninh province and the Japanese organization JICA.- The flow of tourists and especially ecotourism in the world tends toincreasing
Challenge- Weather and climate change abnormally.- Competition in tourism products is increasingly fierce, especially with other localities in the province such as Ha Long, Mong Cai...- Awareness of tourists, especially domestic tourists, about ecotourism and nature conservation is not high.
Through summary analysis using SWOT matrix we see that:
To exploit strengths and take advantage of opportunities, it is necessary to:
- Diversify products and service types (build more tourism routes aimed at specific needs of tourists: experiential tourism immersed in nature, spiritual cultural tourism...)
- Effective exploitation of resources and differentiated products (natural resources and human resources)
