Cyclone-damaged rice production in Burma

July 20th, 2008 by Nicholas Farrelly · 2 Comments

Thanks to prolific New Mandala commentator, Grasshopper, I have learned of some interesting geographic information system work done by the US government on cyclone-affected areas of the Irrawaddy Delta.  A contextual article is available here and a very useful, but slightly dated, map is available here.

Other maps, including one that deals with livestock impact, are online at this more detailed US Department of Agriculture site.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
