Description The soil and water conservation is one of the most important components of
integrated watershed program. Earlier in soil and water conservation programs,
e$orts were concentrated on construction of various types of bunds across the
slope. This helped in controlling erosion and reducing soil loss rather than increasing
crop yields through additional moisture conservation. Current emphasis is more
on improving moisture through various %eld- and community-based moisture
conservation practices. This paper discusses the key %ndings from the various
watershed programs and research stations on %eld- and community-based soil
and water conservation interventions that were found promising for improving
productivity and reducing land degradation in di$erent regions of India.
