Devastating Water Scarcity Cripples Agriculture, Threatens Food Security in Mi Oya Basin
The study looked at how water scarcity affects farming in the Mi Oya river basin. Researchers wanted to understand which types of crops were most impacted by the lack of water in the area. They used surveys, interviews, and case studies to gather information. Results showed that rice farming was the most affected by water scarcity. Farmers in the area sometimes couldn't plant or had to abandon crops because there wasn't enough water. People had to come up with new ways to deal with the lack of water. It's crucial to recognize these challenges because agriculture depends on water, and shortages are a serious issue worldwide.
