Community-Based Water Resources Management for Hill and Mountain Ecosystems
Pilot and Demonstration Activity: Nepal
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
This PDA aims to develop and demonstrate approaches for community-based water resources management for hill and mountain ecosystems, particularly water harvesting and utilization and soil management techniques. |

In Nepal, poor land management has led to increasing water problems. Soil erosion, soil degradation, and declining soil fertility caused by massive deforestation have increased surface runoff and contributed to the decrease of groundwater resources. ADB’s Community Managed Irrigated Agriculture Sector Project (CMIASP), which began in 2006, implements farmer-managed irrigation system improvements and micro-irrigation. Under this project, water user associations (WUA) are being supported to take over ownership of irrigation systems and undertake operations and maintenance trainings. This PDA will introduce water resources management approaches to complement irrigation systems being develop under CMIASP.
