Abstract

Community watersheds are growth engines for the development of dryland areas. Since the beginning of watershed programs, the approach is constantly evolving in India. Today watershed projects do not focus on water conservation solely; integrated watershed management plays an important role in ensuring food security, reducing poverty, protecting the environment and addressing issues such as equity and improved livelihoods.
