128 CLIMATE CHALLENGES TO WATER FOR AGRICULTURE 7 Climate Challenges to Water for Agriculture Panel Nguyen Hieu Trung Dean of the College of Environment and Natural Resources, Can Tho University, Vietnam John (Jack) F. Shroder Professor of Geography and Geology, University of Nebraska at Omaha Donald Wilhite, Moderator Director and Professor, School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska–Lincoln e session addressed the challenges of climate change in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta and the Western Himalaya and Hindu Kush regions. One speaker discussed how farmers cope with climate variability, what scientists can learn from them and how to develop large-scale strategies for the future. Another speaker discussed Afghanistan’s challenging environmental problems and the consequences of glacial melting. Impacts of Weather Variability on Rice and Aquaculture Production in the Mekong Delta Nguyen Hieu Trung, Can Tho University, Vietnam Although farmers in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta adapt to current weather variabilities, they may be unequipped to deal with future changes in global climate, Nguyen Hieu Trung said. He presented results from a study investigating the impacts of weather variability on rice and aquaculture production. To cope with seasonal flooding as well as limited water and salinity intrusion during the dry season, Vietnam developed a rice irrigation system using canals and sluice gates. Cropping calendars and diversification also were introduced. Nguyen Hieu Trung
