With most developing countries, Vietnam is quickly killing all their natural resources. Its major problem is logging and the slash and burn method. Agriculture is a large part of their economy and they way they are treating the environment it isn't going to be part of it for long. These methods are also contributing to soil degradation. They are over using their resources to keep up with the demand and not thinking about the consequences.This is also having a large effect on the natural water supply that Vietnam has. Though they don't have much it will be all gone if they don't stop what they are doing. When ever we research a developing country and try and understand their problems the main cause is usually education. If a country is educated they wouldn't be doing the things they are doing now. So if the Vietnamese population knew what is potable water and what isn't and how to filter water or sterilize water they would see a huge gain in health care along with a better water supply.
There are terrible typhoons in Vietnam which leads to extensive flooding and tragedy among whole towns and parts of the country at one time. This isn't something the people are doing but it is an issue that needs to tackled. Though there aren't many things a government can do about this they could help warn the people when they are coming create evacuation groups and help build solid infrastructure that could withstand these types of storms.
