Modeling and LQR control of salinity in the Mekong Delta

49th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2010
In this paper, we study salinity transport in a section of the Mekong Delta river system in the Tra Vinh district of Vietnam. A combined linear state space model is developed for the shallow water flow and salinity transport in the presence of a sluice gate crossing the river.

Saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta

The Mekong Delta is affected by annual seasonal salinity intrusion in December–May. In this season, the discharge of the Mekong is low, and high tidal water levels cause a deep intrusion of saline water. Critical salt concentrations can be observed 50–80 km deep during high tides.
