Vietnam 's Water Resources University (WRU) was founded in 1959 and has focused its programs for almost 10,000 students on “education, technological and scientific research within the water sector, environmental assessment, exploitation, utilization and protection of water resources and natural disaster prevention and management."

Today, WRU is embarking on an ambitious 15-year project to enhance and upgrade current programs and to develop new ones in order to make it a world-class university for the education and training of individuals in water resources and water resources-related issues. Its geographic scope extends from mountaintops to the marine environment, given that Vietnam has a 3,300-km-long coastline. The university is working with DANIDA (Denmark International Development), and others, to develop an aggressive future plan for the university.
