The Red River sediment dispersal system has been increasingly altered by human activities, but the resultant morphodynamic change and sediment budget in the Red River Delta (RRD) has been little studied in a holistic perspective. In this study, time-series analysis of river water and sediment discharges from 1960 to 2010 was carried out to trace human interferences on sediment routing processes, and historical charts from 1930 to 2008 were digitized to reconstruct the Digital Elevation Models for investigating spatiotemporal variations in the RRD morphology and calculating their depositional and erosional fluxes. The results show that sediment reduction by 61.3% in the Red River is mainly induced by constructing the Hoa Binh Dam at the lower reach of the Da river, and deforestation and other land-use change have recently increased significantly the sediment loads in the Thao and Lo rivers. Intertidal and subtidal morphological changes in the RRD are highly site-specific in response to natural and anthropogenic drivers. Rapid intertidal accretion majorly occurs near the distributary mouths because of abundant sediment supply and artificially promoted siltation by land reclamation projects, but severe coastal erosion may occur secularly after the distributary outlet shifting or temporarily by storm events. The subaqueous RRD is generally featured by the contour-parallel zonation of erosion and accretion determined by strong longshore currents associated with monsoon winds. Net accretion was observed in the tide-dominated northern subaqueous RRD and has recently changed into a slight erosion due to reduced sediment input in the last two decades, while net erosion was monitored in the southern subaqueous RRD predominated by wave and longshore currents and has recently entered into a slight accretion phase in response to the distributary outlet shifting and secular morphodynamic adjustment. The study RRD region received on average 41.1 Mt./yr (Mt = 106t) of suspended sediments, and 14.2 Mt./yr and 28.6 Mt./yr were estimated to accumulate on the intertidal flats and in the northern subaqueous RRD, respectively. However, erosion in the southern subaqueous RRD could contribute 42.9 Mt./yr of sediment to the system. Therefore, 41.2 Mt./yr of suspended sediment was indicated to escape from the study RRD region and transport further southward by longshore current to form the distal muddy clinoform along the inner Vietnam shelf. This sediment budget estimation should bear a significant uncertainty, but provides important information for multi-decadal sediment dispersal in a mega-delta system and coastal management.
