Abstract

During the last 10 years, Central Vietnam has observed rapid urbanization. Urban flooding is a new disaster and few studies were carried out in this area. Researching to determine the frequency of flood control for these urban areas as well as assessing the flooding impacts of surrounding areas is very urgent. This study will show the importance of determining the frequency of flood prevention of new cities. This frequency must be chosen to both ensure flood protection for the project and not to flood the surrounding areas. In this paper, urban area of Canh Dong Nhong in Quangnam province was chosen as case study.
