N2  - CONTEXT: Global experiences reveal the positive impact of watershed-based interventions in improving livelihoods
and environmental security. In the drylands, increasing forage resources and improving livestock productivity
is a critical challenge. OBJECTIVES: The overarching aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of watershed-based interventions on livestock population, productivity, fodder resources, and biomass availability. The paper describes the interrelationship between land, water, crop, and livestock and how the gap in forage deficit can be bridged through a range of watershed interventions.
