This project will address soil salinity problem through providing information to the local sector and infrastructure planning in agriculture and fishery; risk management particularly disaster risk management and climate change adaptation; and policy recommendation.
The project generally aims to develop a national information system for the coastal areas affected by salinity.
Specifically, it aims to:
- Describe the soil physico-chemical characteristics
- Generate salinity maps
- Develop spatial database on salinity for the coastal areas
- Undertake suitability evaluation for agriculture and fisheries and prepare scenarios as input to policy.
