The Government of the Republic of Zambia is engaged in the planning, construction and operation of a number of irrigation projects. The Government shares with the WHO, the FAO, the UNEP and the World Bank a concern that such projects may adversely affect human health and the environment, and wishes to ensure that such negative impacts are prevented or mitigated to the greatest possible extent. Consequently, the Zambian authorities agreed to an evaluation of the potential health impacts of several schemes in their country. The evaluation provided an opportunity to test a new rapid assessment technique. It was concluded that, in general the currently planned irrigation projects would not create additional vector-borne disease hazards. The main facts leading to this conclusion were: the well-drained nature of the soils; the high priority given to proper operation and maintenance; and the absence of large-scale movement of susceptible populations. Several improvements to the rapid assessment technique are suggested.

More irrigated land is devoted to rice than to any other crop. A method to save water in irrigated rice cultivation is the intermittent drying of the rice fields, known as alternate wet/dry irrigation (AWDI). This report reviews previous studies in AWDI, with a focus on mosquito vector control, water saving, and rice yields. Examples are provided from a number of countries.
