    Water scarcity and land degradation are widespread problems that affect agricultural productivity, food security and environmental quality in several parts of the world, particularly in the dry areas. Sustainable management of soil and water is necessary to optimize the use of limited rainwater for crop production and to decrease soil erosion. One management option is utilizing rainfall more efficiently through water harvesting. In arid areas, different types of water harvesting techniques (WHT) are being developed by

    Report on application of SWAT model for soil conservation planning. A study was undertaken to evaluate the soil erosion parameters using semi-distributed
    basin scale SWAT model in different watersheds of Chakwal and Attock districts. The
    model was calibrated and validated for a small watershed without any soil conservation
    structures. For this purpose four sub-catchments of Dhrabi watershed were selected and
    model setup was done using Arc SWAT interface for each sub-catchment independently.

    Assessment of future multiple ecosystem services driven by alternative land-use policies is
    useful for supporting decisions about what and where to invest for the best overall environmental and
    developmental outcomes. The task faces a great challenge due to the inherent complexity of humanlandscape
    systems and trade-offs between rural livelihood improvement, biodiversity conservation and
    carbon sequestration. Agent-based system models have been recognized to be well suited to simulate

    The Chinyanja Triangle (CT) is an area inside the Zambezi
    River Basin, inhabited by Chinyanja-speaking people
    sharing a similar history, language and culture across
    the dryland systems of the eastern province of Zambia,
    southern and central regions of Malawi and Tete Province
    of Mozambique. Chiefs and Chiefdoms play a critical role
    in decision making and influencing social relationships. The
    Zambezi River, which originates in the Kalene Hills in Zambia
    is joined by ten big tributaries from six countries, and is

    With around one third of the world’s arable land degraded, estimated annual losses of 6.3 to 10.6 USD trillion, and a projected need to increase food production from land by 70 per cent by 2050, we simply cannot afford to neglect the loss of potential production from careless land management. Whenever land is not producing at its potential,it is an under-performing asset that requires investments to ensure the future supply chains that many industries depend upon.

    The objective of this research was to assess the multiple effects of land-use change in a high populated steepland environment on land degradation processes and farmers' coping strategies. A case study was conducted at Pakha Sukcay village (located in Thailand's northern most Chiang Rai province). Erosion processes were monitored during a period of 3 years, and informal interviews were conducted to elucidate farmers' opinions.

    Gedaref State was previously known as the
    food basket of Sudan. Over several decades
    unsustainable agricultural practices that
    combined near-monocropping with low nutrient
    replenishment have led to significant degradation
    of soils, which are no longer able to sustain farmer
    livelihoods. This study found that adopting
    an integrated sustainable land use and forest
    restoration scenario could reverse the current
    land degradation trend. The integration of Acacia
    senegal with sorghum, Sudan’s primary staple

    International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) is implementing a project
    supported by Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) for the last ten years in the states of Madhya Pradesh and
    Rajasthan and a project supported by Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) in four districts of Madhya Pradesh
    and Jharkhand for improving livelihoods of small and marginal farmers through sustainable management
    of natural resources. ICRISAT has adopted consortium approach in partnership with Non-Governmental

    The management and rehabilitation of degraded rangelands are inherently complex in south
    Mediterranean where state and tribal owned pastures are grazed commonly by the agro-pastoralists. The
    prospect for increased degradation primarily caused by overgrazing and recurrent droughts is currently at
    alarming levels. Reversing the negative trends primarily requires insightful management practices,
    institutional and policy support, and ultimately sound governance. Historically, the emphasis on rangeland

    This volume contains the presentations made at the Eighth International Conference on Dryland
    Development. It is hoped that it will serve as a repository of information on the problems and prospects of
    sustainable management of dry areas and preventing desertification, and will thus be of interest to those
    involved in research, extension, development and policy formulation for the benefit of the people of the dry areas. It is our belief it would serve as an important contribution to the objectives of the IYDD.
