Benefits
Restoration efforts, such as adjusting levee positions, lowering floodplain elevations or installing culverts, are expected to activate floodplains and promote hydrologic connectivity.
Flood-based livelihood implementation
Flood-based livelihood is a type of livelihood or economic activity that relies on the natural occurrence of floods and the use of floodplains.
Identify areas that are threatened to deteriorate
According to Kummu and Sarkkula (2008), cumulative impact assessments suggest that dry-season water levels are expected to rise, while wet-season water levels are likely lower than the current conditions.
Identify areas that are worthwhile protecting
By referencing the inundation map created by Kummu and Sarkkula (2008), it is noticeable that certain sections of the flooded forest in Tonle Sap Lake remain unaffected by the inundation resulting from elevated water levels during the dry season.
Reconnect wetlands
Disconnected wetlands, referring to wetland systems that experience a break or interruption in hydrological connectivity, exhibit several characteristic features.
Example of interventions to increase connectivity at Kuot Kan
The ability of aquatic animals to move freely between feeding, breeding, and resting areas along sheltered waterways is crucial.
Protect and sustain well-connected wetlands
The wetland area that is worth protecting is characterized by its healthy system, which can be indicated by:
