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.

No.24 2014 Community knowledge and attitude towards regional developmental requirements in remote townships of Chin state, Myanmar ―A questionnaire on sustainability and subsistence to overexploitation of natural resources― Saumya Nilmini Senavirathna1, HninWityi1, and Takeshi Fujino2 1Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saitama University 255 Shimo-okubo, Sakura-ku, Saitama, Japan 338-8570 2Institute for Environmental Science and Technology, Saitama University 255 Shimo-okubo, Sakura-ku, Saitama, Japan 338-8570 Key words：Remote townships, Shifting cultivation, Myanmar Abstract In this study we examined the knowledge and awareness of 200 respondents in two local townships, Mindat and Kanpetlet in Chin state of Myanmar, regarding local environment issues and development requirements. Results indicated differences in knowledge and level of awareness between the two townships particularly regarding issues such as the reduction in fallow period, forest dependence, promoting tourism, protecting local identity and family planning requirements. These differences were found to be mainly due to the differences in economic and social status of the respondents between the two townships. Respondents in Mindat earn more and their education level is higher than in Kanpetlet. They are much more aware of natural environmental changes. In Kanpetlet, forest dependent subsistence is higher and the fallow period in shifting cultivation is shorter than in Mindat. Introducing effective cultivation practices with the required resources and knowledge will facilitate to increase their income while conserving the environment. The respondents have quite different opinions on the development requirements for increasing their earnings and uplifting their living standards. 1.
