Model Name: DM-28_Red_River_Flood_Control

Objective: Use EFDC+ Explorer (EE) and EFDC+ to simulate hydrodynamics to evaluate the effectiveness of hydraulic structures, including the Van Coc Gate and Day Weir, in mitigating flood risks for Hanoi, Vietnam. Two scenarios were developed to simulate the impact of these structures under extreme flood conditions, specifically the catastrophic 1971 flood. By analyzing the hydrodynamic behavior of the Red River system, the study aims to provide insights into the performance of existing flood control measures and highlight the role of Van Coc Lake as a regulating reservoir.
