Project Summary
The Philippines usually incurs severe crop losses caused by drought and typhoon-induced flooding. Much of these losses could have been reduced or avoided through effective water management and social mobilization for efficient irrigation systems operation and maintenance (O&M). Building the capacity of irrigators’ associations, that are tasked to manage irrigation systems, is therefore crucial. This project aims to improve farmers’ awareness and skills in irrigation water management, application of climate forecast in their decision making. It engaged water management technologists, agronomists, and extension experts in bridging the gap between the science-based water management techniques and traditional farmers’ practices.
