Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, a systemwide approach to watershed resource management is essential. As recent history has shown, the usual mixture of biophysical management measures are often constrained by institutional factors, frequently producing limited results. This book offers important management alternatives, examining this resource problem within an economic framework, using an interdisciplinary approach. Part I introduces the basic economic, biophysical, social, institutional, and policy aspects of watershed management. Part II illustrates specific watershed approaches through selected case studies from Asia and the Pacific.

Download or read book Watershed Development in Asia written by John B. Doolette and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watersheds as hydrologic units comprise combinations of arable and nonarable land and drainage lines and are utilized by permanent and transient populations with varying skills and commitment to long term resource husbandry. The range of issues relevant to watershed management is enormous and includes environmental issues, crop and livestock production, social and cultural concerns, infrastructure planning and entire questions of governance and control. This volume presents the results of a highly selective program of research and consultation. The authors : 1) present a discussion of the major watershed development problems of the Asia region; 2) examine the fundamental building blocks of watershed management projects; 3) demonstrate how benefit-cost analysis techniques can be used to assist in the selection of watershed management technologies; 4) discuss the revegetation of denuded forest land; 5) explore one of the most troublesome subjects in conservation policy - land tenure; and 6) elaborate the connections between planning, monitoring and evaluation of watershed projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case studies in this book are authoritative analysis of the extent to which applied scientific and economic information can lead to sustained yields of crops and timber from forest lands in Asia and the Pacific. They also contribute to a better understanding of the actual problems of site management in forestry and watershed rehabilitation projects. The studies from Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Nepal, Sri-Lanka, India and the Philippines show how and why procedures succeed or fail in achieving policy goals and demonstrate clearly that determined efforts are necessary and worthwhile to conserve the productive capacity of forest lands.

Download or read book Environmental Risk Analysis for Asian Oriented Risk Based Watershed Management written by Minoru Yoneda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is a practical guidebook on environmental risk assessment, especially for watershed-scale management. It highlights case studies of watershed environmental risk in Malaysia, including the potential health risks as well as screening methods and management in practice. In order to apply environmental risk assessment methods for the management of toxic chemicals, it is necessary to consider the geological and climate features of each country as well as their cultural characteristics. Focusing on Malaysia as a representative country, the book also discusses studies in other Asian countries. The insights provided can be applied to advanced and developing countries alike. A suitable textbook for graduate students, it is also a valuable reference source for researchers, practitioners and policymakers.

Download or read book Status of institutional reforms for integrated water resources management in Asia Indications from policy reviews in five countries written by Bandaragoda, D. J. and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2006-05-16 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case studies were conducted in five selected Asian countries on their water policy reform initiatives. Of the five countries, China stands out as the country that has derived the most from on-going global efforts in promoting water sector institutional reforms and the concept of integrated water resources management (IWRM). China has emerged as the leader in adapting these concepts to suit the context of the country. Advanced stages of water development in many parts of the country and increased water shortages due to rapid economic development have prompted China to forge ahead in the search for institutional solutions to make the water sector more productive, and the management of water resources more sustainable. In the other selected countries, efforts to replicate the models of developed countries without much adaptation and due reference to their stages of development have generally failed. The dominance of irrigation within the water sector and the informality of the economy related to water in these countries seem to make the application of prescribed IWRM principles rather unfeasible. The lesson to be drawn from policy reviews of the five countries is that effective waterinstitutions are not static systems, but are adaptive and dynamic institutional developments compatible with the local context, particularly with the structure of the overall economy of the country and its water sector.
Download or read book Interactive Approaches to Water Governance in Asia written by Kenji Otsuka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-12 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book applies interactive perspectives, which have historically mainly been discussed in the context of Western European countries, to case studies on water governance in Asia. It examines how these perspectives can be used to reveal complex and dynamic interactions in water governance in Asia, and how interactions between policies and practices, as well as those between formal institutes and emerging informal institutes, come to pass. In two introductory chapters and seven case studies in Asia (two from China, and each one from Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India), the book reveals the interactive forms currently emerging in Asia under hierarchical but often fragmented administrative systems. In addition, it explores emerging hybrid forms of interactive governance, which bring together governmental and non-governmental actors, and discusses how the expected role of government and roles of non-governmental actors could be changed to solve problems in a more cooperative manner. In this context, researchers from outside the locality could play an important role, helping facilitate such forms of interactive governance. The book offers extensive information on the essential features of interactive forms, and on the role of such transdisciplinary approaches, making it a valuable resource not only for scholars and university students, but also for policymakers and grass-roots practitioners directly involved in the interactive process of water governance.
