The challenge is to define appropriate, self-sustainable, management strategies and structures for these lands which meet the needs of the head water habitat, including its human inhabitants, and the needs of habitats downstream.The contributors to this book strive to anticipate emerging and future problems; to discover integrated solutions to the problems already caused by land degradation, natural hazards and development processes; and to helpWatershed managementAfricaCongressesMountain watershedsAfricaManagementCongressesWater resources developmentAfricaCongressesSustainable developmentAfricaCongressesWatershed managementIndiaCongressesMountain watershedsIndiaManagementCongressesWater resources developmentIndiaCongressesSustainable developmentIndiaCongressesElectronic books.Watershed managementMountain watershedsManagementWater resources developmentSustainable developmentWatershed managementMountain watershedsManagementWater resources developmentSustainable development333.91/0096Jansky Libor84920Haigh Martin J.1950-923681Prasad Haushila923682MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450195403321Sustainable management of headwater resources2072998UNINA
