Focus on brackish-water coastal zones, where agricultural lands face salinity in the dry season > 5 ppt.
The challenge relates to innovations in water governance, improved availability of dry-season water, improved practices for managing salt-affected lands, and intensification and diversification of farming systems.
How can spatial analysis play a role in this basin challenge?
Basin ChallengeG1 IRRI – IWM – LGED - SRDI
-Geodatabase of the coastal zone
-Characterisation of test sites/polders
-Extrapolation domains of technologies and policies
-Land use plans under future hydrological scenarios
