dc.descriptionThis policy brief is based on SANDEE working paper no. 22-07, "Can participatory watershed management be sustained? : evidence from Southern India"en
dc.description.abstractWatershed protection and enhancement are vital aspects of rural development work in India. However, many community-based watershed management projects do not produce the desired results and often fail, especially after the state withdraws its support. A new SANDEE study looks at why this is the case and what should be done. The study finds that greater success is likely if community groups are crucially dependent on wells for irrigation, are better informed about post-project requirements and are given more control over funds and overall project management. Leadership is critical to sustaining interest in community activities.en
