WTRSH PLAINS

closed

The main goal of the Integrated Watershed Development Project (Plains) is to stabilize selected watersheds in the three participating states through a menu of land treatments, emphasizing soil and moisture conservation and by introducing more sustainable land management systems, including seeking long-term, community based, management solutions for public non arable lands. The project consists of the establishment of vegetative contour barriers and demonstrations of associated production systems, together with land treatments for stabilization of natural drainage lines both on arable and non ararable land, and nurseries. The project will also support facilities and strengthen implementing agencies, including non government organizations, physical and participatory watershed planning and monitoring capability, research and training.
