The aim of this dissertation is to study how catchment water quality modeling can be applied in the tropical conditions (e.g. Vietnam), especially looking at the aspect of transferring current knowledge from developed countries to developing countries. In order to achieve this aim, the PhD study conducts the following work: (1) review on the state of the art of water quality modeling at catchment scale; (2) selection of a suitable study area for testing and validating concepts; (3) utilization of available complex model codes; (4) development of an innovative and robust adapted to the specific condition of tropical regions in developing countries; (5) proposition of a model-based framework for water resources management. The experience gained from modeling and the recommendations will be used in an ongoing joint research project (German Ministry of Education and Research – BMBF and Vietnam Ministry of Science and Technology – MOST) about “Water pollution control management in key economics zones of South Vietnam”. Coordinators of this project are the Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulics and Water Resources (LWI), University of Braunschweig and the Institute for Environment and Resources (IER), Vietnam National University of Ho Chi Minh city.
