1. Water, watershed development and poverty reduction in Andhra Pradesh, India based upon a paper by John Butterworth, YV Malla Reddy, & Charles Batchelor

2. Outline Introduction Water resources and domestic supplies Impacts of watershed development Trends towards watershed management Challenges in better integration of RWS Conclusions

3. Water resources and domestic supplies Competition for water resources one reason why rural water supplies fail over-abstraction of groundwater for irrigation is major problem rural water supply agencies unable to protect local supplies emergency solutions and regional piped water schemes Does watershed development offer parts of a solution?

4. Impacts of watershed development Assumptions and problems Watershed development may increase competition for scarce water resources Examples of integration and good practice towards watershed management

5. Challenges in better integration Institutional constraints From supply augmentation to demand management and water allocation Lessons from elsewhere e.g. South Africa

6. Conclusions watershed development programmes in India typically don’t yet address water resources management or rural water supply needs but have significant impacts similar languages but lack of coordination missed opportunities
