    Enhanced resilience of water drainage and irrigation system for disaster risk management in Shandong, China 2010

    The rural land tenure became a family responsibility in Qilin Township, the need to renovate irrigation infrastructure became more urgent because natural disasters such as water logging and drought cause economic losses and threaten farmer’s livelihoods. Major interventions as part of the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) plan for the township were undertaken, including the construction of a drainage culvert for improving the water logging situation. The implementation of this practice helps to increase the community’s resilience to floods, water logging and droughts by improving the community water drainage and irrigation infrastructures, as well as cleaning the canals. This improvement at the community level will reduce the economic losses of crop production, therefore contributing to sustainable livelihoods of farmers who engage in agriculture.
