Ngô Quang Toàn, Đặng Huy Rằm

In this paper, the authors present the results of their preliminary study on the hazard of river-bank washout at Tân Đức area, Ba Vì District, Hà Tây Province, through the study on the history of dam construction in the Red River at Tân Đức - Minh Nông area, situated on the Red River left side, and the determination of main factors causing this phenomenon. This is the process of meandering of the river, the sudden increase of stream velocity, due to the combination of high water in flood season and the opening of water-gate of the Hòa Bình Reservoir situated on the Đà River. Basing on this, the authors set forth the solutions and petitions for coping with this hazard.
