Siltation and levelling of fields, destruction of water reservoirs, bunds and dykes
Destruction of irrigation and drainage facilities
Destruction of water streams/linkages to the sea and of protection infrastructure against sea/salt intrusion.
Saline water infiltration in flooded non drained area (where sea water has been trapped)
Saline sediment deposition in some areas and deposition of deep layers of infertile sediments possibly leading to new problems of water logging and salinity
Contamination of domestic water supply (wells) by salt water, from dead bodies and polluted from disruption of chemical container or other infrastructure
High perturbation or destruction of lagoon systems (physical linkage to the sea and chemical water balance)
Coastal deforestation and related risks for erosion
Loss of farming capital
Loss of productive lands due to massive erosion/scouring
Loss of draft animals, mainly buffalos, and small livestock
Loss of hand tools and other implements
Loss of human capacity
Losses in short and long-term human/managerial capacities to cope with agriculture activities, with planning and implementing rehabilitation programs/projects.
