Foreword

A decade ago, FAO presented the results of a global review of watershed management projects carried out between 1990 and 2000. The new generation of watershed management programmes and projects, published in 2006, reflected the increasingly wide acceptance of watershed management as an integrated approach to environmental protection and development, addressing conservation of water, land and biodiversity resources and improvement of local livelihoods through enhanced and diversified production. The publication identified new perspectives and ideas for future interventions.
