POLICY OBJECTIVES 11/14/2018

2 Review of Project Policy background
water watershed forest and water Activities and outputs of the project Broad policy objectives Identified Potential Wednesday, November 14, 2018Wednesday, November 14, 2018 RAPID Workshop

3 National Water Policy The National Water Policy of India although recommends the integrated watershed management as well as integrated river basin planning and management However, the implementation is either faulty or totally missing Wednesday, November 14, 2018Wednesday, November 14, 2018 RAPID Workshop

4 Watershed Management Programmes
Does not follow sound scientific basis to identify the requirements of the local areas Does not take into consideration the inter-linkages between the watersheds Does not have any evaluation process to assess the level of fulfillment of set objectives Does not have any mechanism of generating alternative scenarios No mechanism of integration between departments No way of sustainability assessment Wednesday, November 14, 2018Wednesday, November 14, 2018 RAPID Workshop

5 Forest and Water Indian forestry and water sectors have firm beliefs
every forest increase water availability forest attract rain Contrary to forest hydrology research in most cases forest consume water no link with rain at local level Forest and water beliefs base policy and practice water, forestry, watershed policy documents wrong interventions in watershed near closure Wednesday, November 14, 2018Wednesday, November 14, 2018 RAPID Workshop

6 Unified Framework: the only answer
Creation of an unified framework for water-related information Shall map the areas starting from micro-watersheds to river basin level Modelling shall provide the assessment of water quantity in space and time Local participation and consensus through scenario generation and sustainability assessment Wednesday, November 14, 2018Wednesday, November 14, 2018 RAPID Workshop

7 Unified Framework the only answer….
The unified framework shall Provide opportunity for integration of information pertaining to line departments Act as a tool for legislation for actions taken by stake holders at various levels Sustainability assessment at local and higher levels Wednesday, November 14, 2018Wednesday, November 14, 2018 RAPID Workshop

8 Corroboration World Bank: has recommended the similar approach in their water policy on India KAWAD and APRLP: also recommends that an integrated approach needs to be implemented Wednesday, November 14, 2018Wednesday, November 14, 2018 RAPID Workshop
