The ministries of
Agriculture and Water Resources and Meteorology on Monday encouraged
provincial office heads to increase supplies of emergency water and
funnel more water to irrigation systems as part of an effort to
mitigate the damage to rice crops typically wrought by the "mini dry
season", which lasts from July to September. Kith Seng, director of
planning at the Agriculture Ministry, told the Post that the dry season
had in past years damaged between 30,000 and 60,000 hectares of rice
crops.
