Maintaining inland-valley lowland infrastructures for better water management

Maintenance of irrigation and draining infrastructure is often lacking in inland-valley lowlands. This can cause serious problems with water management. Depending on the dynamics of th einland valley, inadequate maintenance of irrigation and drainage facilities in the lowlands can result in water shortage, while elsewhere it may lead to excess flooding and difficulties in draining some plots. Without irrigation or drainage facilities or when water cannot be retained long enough on the field (which is often teh case with plots that are far from the irrigation canal), water control become problematic.
