OAR@ICRISATWatershed Management Challenges Improving Productivity, Resources and Livelihoods 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.Watershed Management2005International Water Management InstituteBook
