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 help 606 $aWatershed management$zAfrica$vCongresses 606 $aMountain watersheds$zAfrica$xManagement$vCongresses 606 $aWater resources development$zAfrica$vCongresses 606 $aSustainable development$zAfrica$vCongresses 606 $aWatershed management$zIndia$vCongresses 606 $aMountain watersheds$zIndia$xManagement$vCongresses 606 $aWater resources development$zIndia$vCongresses 606 $aSustainable development$zIndia$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWatershed management 615 0$aMountain watersheds$xManagement 615 0$aWater resources development 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aWatershed management 615 0$aMountain watersheds$xManagement 615 0$aWater resources development 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a333.91/0096 701 $aJansky$b Libor$084920 701 $aHaigh$b Martin J.$f1950-$0923681 701 $aPrasad$b Haushila$0923682 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450195403321 996 $aSustainable management of headwater resources$92072998 997 $aUNINA
