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.
