271 - Alley crop water-sensitive species in-between with water-intensive species

272 - Use plastic polybags to plant vegetables that are off the ground and cannot be flooded

278 - Plant water tolerant root crops like water taro and soft mud taro

279 - Find water tolerant varieties with help from regional and national research institutions

280 - Plant bananas in water-prone areas as they grow well with a high level of moisture; good productivity

281 - Grow wet tolerant vegetable species (e.g. Susut and cucumber and eggplant)

282 - Protect crops and germinants from excessive Rainfallin greenhouses

283 - Change planting timing according to seasonal climate forecasts, especially la Niña events
