Abstracts

Climate change has been impacting both natural and human resources greatly. Flow in river basins is subjected to strongly affect due to its direct relevance to climatic factors. Many changes in the distribution of runoff on river basins throughout the year due to the impact of climate change (CC) have been observed. In some areas, the flood season tends to shift gradually towards the end of the year, making the flood season appear later than before, but there are also areas where the flood season occurs earlier. The paper specifically analyzes changes in the distribution of flood season in a year under the impact of climate change in some areas in the Ca River basin, central Viet Nam.
