Title Watershed Management Challenges Improving Productivity, Resources and Livelihoods
 
Subject Watershed management
 
Description The present volume addresses these issues head-on by shedding light on
watershed development and management in developing countries, with a particular
focus on India. Through a series of introduction and overview chapters and case
studies that aim to better understand watershed management for improved
agricultural and livestock productivity, natural resource management, and livelihood
improvement, the editors and contributing authors provide detailed documentation
of what works and what does not. The book is part of ongoing collaboration
between the Indian Council for Agricultural Research and two centers of the
Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research. While each institution
may approach the subject of watershed management from a diverse perspective,
we unanimously concur that watersheds as resource use units coupled with the
management decisions of human users offer immense potential to transform rural
livelihoods in marginal and resource-poor regions of the developing world. To this
end, our three institutions jointly collaborated on an international workshop
“Watershed Management Challenges: Improving Productivity, Resources and
Livelihoods” held 3-4 November 2004 in New Delhi. This volume; sponsored by
Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of
India; brings together the best of the papers presented and deliberated during the
workshop, and peer-reviewed and revised through the efforts of the editorial team
and subject matter experts.
