The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014 and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is now my hope that the main results both Union and each of the State and Region reports will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national and sub-national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and officers at the State/Region, District and Township levels and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census.

  • Determination of Rainwater Harvesting System in Mindat District
    ISSN 2319-8885 Vol.03,Issue.10 May-2014, Pages:1905-1911 www.semargroup.org, www.ijsetr.com Determination of Rainwater Harvesting System in Mindat District 1 2 JUE JUE , TIN TIN HTWE 1Dept of Civil Engineering, Mandalay Technological University, Mandalay, Myanmar, Email: [email protected]. 2Dept of Civil Engineering, Mandalay Technological University, Mandalay, Myanmar, Email: [email protected]. Abstract: This study is described about the determination of rainwater harvesting system in Mindat district, Chin State of Myanmar. Firstly, rainfall volume collected from the rooftop catchment is calculated using rational method and the existing roof catchment areas; 400 sq ft, 840 sq ft and 1200 sq ft are used to collect rain. Two types of roofing materials such as GI sheet and thatch are considered. The data length is ten years period from 2003 to 2012 and these data are recorded from department of Metrology and Hydrology. To calculate monthly water use (demand), daily water consumption for one person is taken as 15 gallons and six household members are considered in a family. 30 days in a month and 30 gallons of wastage as example for roof washing or for flushing out are considered. Comparing the demand and rainfall collected, 1200 sq ft roof catchment area with GI sheet roof in Mindat can give reliable rainwater storage. In Matupi, Kanpetlet and Paletwa, surplus rainwater is collected from GI sheet roofs of 840 sq ft and 1200 sq ft roof catchment areas. Rainfall runoff collected from the roof catchment of 400 sq ft does not meet to satisfy the demand. Secondly, surface runoff harvesting is considered to collect the rains on every catchment area where the rain falls.

The results of physicochemical properties of observed soils were neutral pH, favorable moisture, silty clay loam texture, very high content of organic carbon, organic matter and total nitrogen. However, the tea growing soil was very poor in phosphorus and potassium content. Moreover, both soils lack of available potassium. The content of heavy metals in both soils was not varied from each other and followed the order: Fe (iron) > Cu (copper) >Zn (zinc) > Pb (lead) > Cr (chromium) and was below the maximum allowed concentrations (MAC). Therefore, the studied soils are generally favorable for cultivation under the condition of application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. However, due to the regular application of fertilizers and pesticides, it is necessary to monitor these soils for PTE levels. Further research is recommended, which must include analyses of the physicochemical properties of soils to a two depths of 0-30 and 30-60 cm, especially for the area where fruit plants are grown.
