ABSTRACT: Ben Tre, located in the Mekong
Delta, is one of the most places affected by climate change, especially in sea
level rise and salinity intrusion. For the seven provinces bordering the East
Sea, the need for monitoring water resources is critical. This paper represents
an approach to build a web-based GIS to store, manage, analyze and visualize
the data of saline intrusion phenomenon. The novelty focuses on automating the
workflow for the generation and publication of time series saline intrusion
maps on server side. The analysis results are provided on the web browser
interface. This helps users access valuable information without having to
install professional GIS software. Spatial distribution of saline intrusion and
statistical results support government agencies in planning and decision
making. This work is funded by Ben Tre Provincial People's Committee and
Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST).
