Subject Watershed management
 
Description In most dryland regions, lack of technological progress and increasing population pressure
are taking heavy toll on the productive natural resource base. Water scarcity, land
degradation along with other technological and socioeconomic constraints are leading to
lower productivity and income. Depletion of the resource base diminishes the capabilities of
poor farmers to earn more and increases their vulnerabilities to drought and other natural
disasters. For such areas, government of India and several other organizations and agencies
have adopted integrated watershed management for improving the livelihoods of the
community and conserving natural resources. Recently completed Comprehensive
Assessment (CA) of the impacts of watershed program in India undertaken by the ICRISATled
consortium showed that the watersheds are silently revolutionalising the dryland areas
in the country and can become growth engine of sustainable and inclusive development.
The Government of India released the New Common Guidelines for enhancing growth
engine of sustainable development of rainfed areas by improving the performance of 65% of
the watershed projects, which performed below average.
