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.
