Even before Myanmar’s accession to UNCCD, measures relating to combating desertification have been taken at the local and national levels. In 1994, the Ministry of Forestry (MOF) launched a 3-year "Greening Project for the Nine Critical Districts" of Sagaing, Magway and Mandalay Divisions in the Dry Zone. This was later extended to 13 districts with the creation of new department, the Dry Zone Greening Department (DZGD) in 1997. 1.3 The Government has stepped up its efforts on preventing land degradation and combating desertification in recent years. The most significant effort is the rural area development programme envisaged in the current Third Short-Term Five-Year Plan (2001-2002 to 2005-2006).

  • A Geographical Study of Water Resources and Irrigation Works in Monywa District
    A Geographical Study of Water Resources and Irrigation Works in Monywa District Daw Khin May Win Assistant Lecturer Abstract Monywa District is based on agriculture. Since the climate of Monywa District is a tropical savanna climate, the rainfall is found to be unreliable. In addition to the irregularity of the climate, sometimes drought occurs. Despite irregularity rainfall and drought, it is possible to cultivate in areas where irrigation works are present. Monywa District has a total of 164,633 acres under irrigated cultivation. This acreage accounts for 6.63% of the whole district of 12.80 % of the current occupied area. Introduction The increasing population and the scarcity of agricultural land, which, are responsible for an increasing imbalance in the demand and supply of agricultural products, call for alternatives to increase the supply of food and fibers. In this context, the role of irrigation is crucial irrigation is the pre-reguisite for the adoption of a new technology in agriculture and for the rapid growth of the agricultural sector. Irrigation is a basic determinant of agriculture because its inadeguacies are the most powerful constraints on the increase of agricultural production, particularly in the dryland farming regions. In traditional agriculture, irrigation was recognized only for its protective role of insurance against the vagaries of rainfall and drought. But with the adoption of high-yielding varieties, chemical fertilization and multiple cropping, the controlled irrigation has become the chief factor in increasing productivity. Background and Statement of Problem 1. How the different types of irrigational systems that are function within the region. 2.
