| description | • Water Spreading Weirs: To capture and spread
the torrential flood emerging in the neighboring
highlands to low-lying rangelands and crop fields,
five weirs were built based on land suitability studies.
• Working together: Joint planning and execution
between community leaders, landscape and crop
researchers and development agents using a
combination of good agronomy, remote sensing and
GIS-based maps yielded positive results.
• Success draws attention: Seeing the results,
pastoralists were willing to take up farming. It
created local confidence, drew government
attention and benefited pastoralists. |
