This scientific paper examines water resource management as a key factor in achieving sustainable development, with a particular focus on the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. The authors analyze global challenges, including freshwater scarcity driven by population growth and climate change, which contribute to droughts and soil salinization. The paper reviews international water governance models implemented in OECD and Latin American countries and identifies common challenges, such as financial constraints and information gaps. The study highlights the critical dependence of Vietnam’s agricultural sector on effective water governance and the efficient allocation of water resources. International experience is presented as a valuable foundation for reforming institutional frameworks and preventing social conflicts arising from water scarcity. The authors conclude by emphasizing the need for a flexible and adaptive water governance system capable of responding to contemporary environmental challenges.

Afghanistan contributes water supplies to Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. However, with the exception of the Helmand Basin, Afghanistan has negotiated transboundary water sharing agreements with no downstream country. This paper describes a constrained optimization framework to minimize economic costs within each of nine Afghan transboundary basins of adapting to potential water sharing agreements.

An important topic of the journal “Integrated Water Resources Management in Central Asia” will be the assessment of past and future changes in climate and water resources in Central Asia. This technical note aims at providing guidance for sound data-based assessment of changes to be published in this journal. The main requirements for achieving credible results are (1) the use of consistent data series, (2) the selection of appropriate change detection methods, and (3) the discussion of the results, their uncertainties and limitations. Using an example of trend analysis, it is exemplarily shown how inhomogeneities in a data series, the selection of start and end points, the applied methods, and temporal aggregation may affect the results of change studies.

The article discusses current trends associated with the refusal to control the stress state of concrete dams. The importance of stress control for determining the actual state of the dam is emphasized. Recommendations are given for the revision of regulatory and methodological documents in the field of safety of hydraulic structures.
