Developing Criteria for Assessing The Stability of Water Supply Models in High Mountains and Water-Scare Areas

The article presents the scientific basis for assessing the stability of water supply models and develops a suitable set of criteria to assess the stability of water supply works, which includes the water supply part for water supply works and systems (including headworks and water distribution systems) in high mountains and water-scarce areas in Vietnam. Research results indicate that in order to improve the stability and availability of water of the models that have been, are and will be built, it is necessary to have a common method of evaluating effectiveness for scientific models of domestic water supply. Accordingly, it is necessary to build obtain a suitable set of criteria to assess the stability of the water supply model (source + water supply works) in the high mountains, water-scarce areas in Vietnam

The impact of agricultural growth on the rural development in Vietnam

Rural development is a global relevant phenomenon that needs the particular attention of researchers as well as regulators to achieve the development goals it entails. Considering this, the present study investigates the impact of agriculture growth, agricultural employment and import and rural population growth on rural development in Vietnam. This study is conducted based on the secondary data extracted from World Development Indicators (WDI) from 1981 to 2018. This study executes the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to investigate the nexus among the variables. The results show that agriculture growth, agricultural employment and import and rural population growth have a positive nexus with rural development in Vietnam. This study offers valuable insights for rural area development authorities and policy experts to help formulate effective and responsive policies to promote agricultural growth and develop rural societies.Dinh Hong Linh (Thai Nguyen University of Economics and Business Administration, Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam), Nguyen Thi Thu Cuc* (Vinh University, Vinh City, Viet Nam), Nguyen Cong Tiep (Viet Nam National University of Agriculture, Ha Noi, Viet Nam), Nguyen Xuan Diep (Thai Nguyen University of Economics and Business Administration, Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam), Vu Bach Diep (Thai Nguyen University of Economics and Business Administration, Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam), Kwak Busung (Thai Nguyen University of Economics and Business Administration, Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam), Nguyen Nang Hung (Vinh University, Vinh City, Viet Nam)Includes bibliographical reference
