However, these methods have limited applicability. In this study, an innovative system, the fluvial acoustic tomography system （FATS）, was used for continuous discharge measurement. Transducers with a central frequency of 30 kHz were installed diagonally across the river. The system＇s significant functions include accurate measurement of the travel time of the transmission signal using a GPS clock and the attainment of a high signal-to-noise ratio as a result of modulation of the signal by the 10th order M-sequence. In addition, FATS is small and lightweight, and its power consumption is low. Operating in unsteady streamflow, FATS successfully measured the cross-sectional average velocity. The agreement between FATS and acoustic Doppler current profilers （ADCPs） on water discharge was satisfactory. Moreover, the temporal variation of the cross-sectional average temperature deduced from the sound speed of FATS was similar to that measured by a temperature sensor near the bank.展开更多

Because of uneven flow distribution through the year with only 20% annual flow in the dry season, while fresh water requirement for socio-economic activity in this season is much higher. With this situation, the simulation and finding out the mechanism of saline water intrusion into the estuary in general will help to suggest suitable solutions to control the situation. This paper presents results done at the Huong river estuary. Based on the data collected in current years and using MIKE11 softwave, number scenarios were simulated and found out the intruded process of saline water into the river. They will be very important parameters for which solutions to control negative effects to serve socio-economic development at the downstream of Huong river will be recommended and implemented in the later stage.展开更多
