Book (series)The new generation of watershed management programmes and projects
A resource book for practitioners and local decision-makers based on the findings and recommendations of a FAO review
2006On the occasion of the International Year of Mountains-2002, FAO and its partners undertook a large-scale assessment and global review of the current status and future trends of integrated and participatory watershed management. The overall objectives were to promote the exchange and dissemination of experiences in implementing watershed management projects in the decade from 1990 to 2000 and to identify the vision for a new generation of watershed management programmes and projects. This resour ce book represents a summary and critical analysis of the rich discussions and vast materials that emerged during the review, as well as the review's findings and recommendations. It presents the state of the art in watershed management, promotes further reflection and creative thinking and proposes new ideas and approaches for future watershed management programmes and projects. This publication has been written primarily for field-level watershed management practitioners and local decision-mak ers involved in watershed management at the district or municipality level. It will also be a useful source of information for other readers such as senior officers and consultants specialized in other areas, evaluators, policy-makers and students of watershed management. -

Characterised by steep slopes and heavy populations of smallholder farmers, upstream practices have caused sedimentation and pollution into the Sasumua reservoir, supplied by the catchment supplies and operated by the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC). The potential to use PES to address land degradation issues has been explored by ICRAF and JKUAT (Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology) through its program, Pro-poor Rewards for Environmental Services in Africa (PRESA).
