Due to the presence of a big river and alluvial geological conditions, the Vietnam Mekong delta (VMD) is prone to landslides, resulting in numerous vulnerable areas where erosion and land subsidence can occur frequently. In addition, the concentration of major cities and densely populated areas (such as Long Xuyen, Cao Lanh, Can Tho, Vinh Long, My Tho, Ben Tre) along rivers, which is often preferred due to their historical, economic significance, may pose a notable risk of riverbank collapse. Based on statistical data from 2019, approximately 393 areas in the VMD have been impacted by riverbank erosion, this has resulted in significant damages to both the economy and threatening human lives in the areas. Various river training alternatives for the Vietnam Mekong delta have been progressively implemented, starting with basic studies and the development of plans aimed at stabilizing river morphology. These efforts are geared towards ensuring river flow stabilization and promoting social-economic development. Among the interventions including both hard and soft solutions for river training in VMD, the article introduces a number of possible environmentally friendly solutions, such as, directing the flow, flow voltex solutions to adjust the sediment transport and riverbank protection measures. Each solution is accompanied by calculations and cost estimates, indicating their feasibility and potential for implementation
