This research was carried out to systematize and assess the
appropriateness of farmer’s indigenous knowledge and their adaptive
capacity
with floods. The research aimed at providing scientific foundation for
proposing solutions to conserve and enhance the effectiveness of
valuable
indigenous knowledge in reducing vulnerability of people living in
flooded areas. The results showed that local people are using several
effective
indigenous knowledge for coping with floods. However, the valuable
indigenous knowledge has not recorded yet, nor documented in written
materials for sharing to young generation and communities. Besides, some
indigenous practices are not suitable in practice which required
reevaluation
for current flood adaptation strategies. The research suggested some
solutions to conserve the most valuable indigenous knowledge for
pro-active adaptation of local people in changing climate.
