The township, with its abundance of navigable rivers and streams, sees many motorized boats during summer months.

The Township's Water Usage Planning department monitors and maintains rivers, streams and irrigation channels to prevent siltation.

[3] Kangyidaunt Township typically sees 85.84 inches (218cm) of rainfall and has a moderate level of risk for flooding due to both nearby deltaic river systems and a lower population density compared to nearby Pathein.

The main crop farmed is rice, with the primary markets being nearby Pathein, Myaungmya and the large city of Yangon further east.

Industry in the township is limited, but exists in the form of a few factories creating ice, wood products, wigs and concrete.
