1. Identifying research and development (R and D) needs: Through the discussion on the present state of land drainage in south and Southeast Asian countries, the following five short and medium term R and D needs for land drainage improvement are identified according to priority: 1) field drainage development in paddy-based irrigation schemes, 2) main drainage development for river plain and delta areas, 3) development of suitable land consolidation programs for Asian lowlands, 4) drainage guidelines for acid sulfate and peat soils, 5) drainage guidelines for semi-arid regions with monsoon climate. 2. Proposing follow-up activities: It is proposed that the identified R and D needs should be followed up by further preparatory activities such as: 1) pilot schemes to test new technologies and innovations, 2) further studies to collect information on drainage conditions, requirement and prospects in the region, 3) training, 4) network
