Key Points

This research aims to understand how households adapt to challenges posed by declining groundwater resources.
Analyzed water security metrics in households across the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Evaluated adaptive strategies employed by communities
Utilized both qualitative and quantitative data for comprehensive insights
Households with established adaptive strategies showed significantly higher resilience to water insecurity (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.5-4.1, p=0.002)
Resources availability correlates with improved household adaptive capacity
Community engagement found to enhance collective adaptive measures
