dc.description.abstractResearchers from the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) used focus group discussions, household surveys and life history interviews to collect information at settlement, household and intra-household levels in the rural districts of Kolar and Gulbarga and the urban district of Bangalore. While the current focus on watershed development with adaptation co-benefits is positive, it must be complemented by efforts to address the growing irrigation demand. Governance is a barrier to local adaptation. More than other factors, implementation of adaptation practices is slowed by the lack of staff especially at State and district levels.en
