On June 28th 2022, AICS Hanoi was honored to participate at the Kick-off Workshop on Developing the Law on Water Resources (amended) opened by MONRE Vice-Minister H.E. Le Cong Thanh and co-chaired by the World Bank.

The event has seen a great participation from key stakeholders at national and international level and laid out the first step towards a comprehensive law that maximizes sustainable management, conservation and protection of water resources.

During the Workshop, Italy was recognized as a valuable partner for its expertise on weather forecasting, effective disaster risk reduction models and technologies especially in the hydro-meteorology sector and flood prevention. AICS Hanoi reminded the great efforts of the Italian system on Disaster Risk Reduction solutions in face of climate change in particular those developed and adopted by the Central Functional Centre of the Italian Civil Protection Department and of the River Basins District Authorities and the relevance of having a strong coherence between institutional, operational, and legislative frameworks bringing as an example the Italian Legislative Decree 49/2010.

Emerging legislation and experience trends on water quality, weather forecasting, monitoring and surveillance of weather related hydrogeological and hydraulic risks including flood management for a water secure Viet Nam have been some of the topics touched by AICS Hanoi and on which the Agency is now configuring a Technical Assistance to support MONRE in this relevant milestone.
