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 />
