Objectives
Livestock - Environment - Watershed project
 ivestock
and Environment Interactions in Watersheds in India is a 24
months (July 2002 – June 2004) project supported
by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) India,
and Livestock, Environment And Development (LEAD) programme of the
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
 The
project is being implemented by the International Water Management
Institute (IWMI) in collaboration with CALPI (Capitalization of
Livestock Programs in India) initiative of SDC, The Government of
India and several NGOs in water-scarce watersheds in semi-arid regions
of India.
The project is conducting in-depth studies in 5 watersheds, with
a minimum of 2-3 case studies in each watershed that explore, research
and document livestock, environment and social interactions.
In addition to the in-depth study of these five watersheds, a complementary
rapid assessment of a larger number of watersheds with an explicit
focus on livestock is carried out.
