sediment, soil and water salinity and infrastructure damage<br />
were experienced in other parts of the region. Whilst this<br />
workshop was predominantly presentation and discussion of<br />
soil and crop rehabilitation methods and results, planning,<br />
coordination and communication are most important to a<br />
successful rehabilitation effort.<br />
The need for some form of guidelines to guide a possible<br />
future response to tsunami was highlighted. These guidelines<br />
would not be a prescriptive document but rather set out a<br />
process that should be followed for example<br />
Among the soil rehabilitation efforts that have been discussed<br />
included:<br />
Cleaning up of debris and sediments that cannot be<br />
incorporated into soil<br />
Assessment and rehabilitation of soil for the salinity, nutrient<br />
imbalance and physical property problems<br />
Assessment and repairment of irrigation and drainage<br />
infrastructure<br />
Value of salt tolerant crops<br />
In the Institutional Aspects the short term rehabilitation efforts<br />
included:<br />
Coordinate appropriate advice to NGOs and donors<br />
Establishment of income producing opportunities for farming<br />
community aimed at livelihood restoration and self-reliance<br />
Access to seed (quality) and varieties/planting material (tree<br />
crops as well)<br />
Training/capacity building<br />
While the long term efforts included:<br />
Transfer of technology and knowledge to farming community<br />
which is vitally important (results of research and experiences)<br />
Continuation of capacity building for farmers, extension staff<br />
and NGOs<br />
Transfer of technology and knowledge to farming community<br />
