The Department of Agriculture (DA) has introduced water management strategies to mitigate the impact of the El Niño phenomenon on agricultural production.

🔬 The DA promotes rainwater harvesting as a key strategy, encouraging food producers to collect and store rainwater given the country’s average rainfall volume of 2,348 millimeters.

⛑️ Other initiatives include the improvement of irrigation canals, small-scale irrigation projects, and replacing unserviceable pumps and engine sets.

💼 U-Nichols Manalo, Chairperson of the DA’s National El Niño Team, highlights the collaboration between the department’s operating units to address the potential effects of the weather phenomenon.

🚜 The DA leads the food security agenda within an inter-agency task force that includes the departments of trade, labor, interior, social work, and energy, as well as the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).

🤝 Other cooperating agencies are the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development, and the Philippine Crop Insurance Corp.

📝 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. announced the upcoming release of an El Niño Mitigation Plan to engage the public in national actions against the effects of the weather phenomenon.

⚠️ Weather experts predict unusual warming of sea surface temperatures, strengthening the abnormal weather patterns associated with El Niño, leading to below-normal rainfall, dry spells, and droughts in some areas.

🌧️ However, the western part of the country may still experience above-normal rainfall due to the enhanced southwest monsoon.
