Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nutrient reduction work plan is being developed for the South Lake Champlain watershed that will address the water quality impairments to Lake Champlain. 35% of the phosphorus runoff into the Lake from this watershed is estimated to come from agriculture so it is imperative that agricultural practices be considered in this work plan. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate assumed impediments to farmer participation in a water quality improvement planning process and develop a public participation process that will allow for adequate agricultural representation. A survey was conducted of 31 farmers in the South Lake watershed. The survey asked about farmers’ attitudes towards water quality issues and planning processes in general and specifically about public participation processes. The survey was conducted in person as well as by mail, which allowed for substantial qualitative feedback. It is not only important to engage farmers in this planning process; it must do more than just meet structural needs, such as time or location of meetings and must clearly demonstrate to farmers the value of their input and provide a level of empowerment that validates their time and resource commitment to the process. The process must emphasize the value of shared education gained through the process. Education of both the farmers and planning sponsors increases the decision quality, as well as potentially increasing trust while decreasing conflict in project implementation. The process should include non-agricultural contributors to water quality impairment. Lastly, the process should provide multiple methods for public participation including representation of the agricultural industry by local organizations or individuals. A successful public participation process for nutrient reduction would provide educational and collaborative opportunities for improvement resulting in an implementation process that achieves water quality improvement goals with decreased conflict and increased understanding of the comprehensive watershed issues.

Book excerpt: We must enhance the effectiveness ofland stewardship and management of the world's natural resources to meet a growing global population's need for conservation, sustainable development, and use of land, water, and other natural resources. Ecosystem-based, mul tiple-use land stewardship is necessary when considering the present and future uses ofland, water, and other natural resources on an operationally efficient scale. We need holistically planned and carefully implemented watershed management practices, projects, and pro grams to accommodate the increasing demand for commodities and amenities, clear water, open space, and uncluttered landscapes. An international conference in Tucson, Arizona, from March 13 to 16, 2000, examined these needs and increased people's awareness of the contributions that ecosystem-based, multiple-use watershed management can make to future land stewardship. The conference was sponsored by the School of Renewable Natural Resources, University of Arizona; the College of Agriculture, University of Arizona; the Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service; the Research Center for Conservation of Water Resources and Disaster Pre vention, National Chung-Hsing University, Taiwan; the Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota; the Center for Integrated Natural Resources and Agriculture Man agement, University of Minnesota; the Centro de Investigaciones Biologicas del Noreste, Mexico; the International Arid Lands Consortium; the USDA Natural Resources Conserva tion Service; the Bureau of Land Management of the Department of the Interior; the Salt River Project, Phoenix, Arizona; the Southern Arizona Chapter, Southwestern Section of the Society of American Foresters; and IUFRO Working Party 8. 04. 04, Erosion Control by Watershed Management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 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 resource 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-makers 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

Book excerpt: As human populations expand and demands upon natural resources increase, the need to manage the environments in which people live becomes more important but also more difficult. Land and water management is especially critical as the use of upstream watersheds can drastically affect large numbers of people living in downstream watersheds. An integrated approach that stresses both the importance of participatory planning and the institutional and technical constraints and opportunities is therefore necessary. The institutional and technical context for managing watersheds and river basins, including the involvement of both the public and private sectors, is also examined.

The watershed approach is being promoted as a means of bringing about environmental improvements, particularly at scales that require changes by multiple landholders. This report provides an outline of the implementation of watershed programs in the United States, with particular reference to examples in New York State, including the regulatory framework that largely drives implementation.
