Policy And Practice In The Management Of Tropical Watersheds (winrock Development-oriented Literature)

This book describes the upper watershed technologies and quotes successful examples. It is concerned with the less researched and often less-tractable land-use problems of rural areas involving the management of croplands, plantations, forests, and rangelands. Using a combination of theory and practice, the author examines the issues of agriculture, animal husbandry, water for both domestic and industrial use, and fuelwood in the context of tropical watersheds.
