I fully agree with your proposal.

Models for basin (and watershed) management often break down when transferred from developed to developing countries: they must be made congruent with physical conditions, cultural traditions, and the stage of development reached, both generally and in terms of the level and manner of exploitation of water and related resources.

Watershed Management is an scientific approach how save the available water in the particular environments. Watershed is the hydro-geological connection on the surface of the land. The special focus on agriculture purpose of using water in order to increase the yield per hectare of the farmers. The size of the watershed will cover the number of the farmers in the particular location or environment. There are some social, economic, ecological and environmental benefits by the stakeholders in general. The concept of the Watershed Management has received the scientific attention of the team of experts from Agriculture, Economics, Engineering and Policy makers etc. Every village should have watershed is nothing but Micro-dam in the village itself supporting the local farmers.

The plan or path should recognize one approach does not necessarily fit every circumstance. Some landscapes are more resilient than others. Some farming communities are open to conservation, while others need some approach from education, convincing, technical help, economic support through conservation easements, payments or tax credits, and in some cases policy and legal requirements. A good part of my career was directed at addressing impacts of excessive erosion and gullying from agricultural practices that left landscapes unproductive (eg, book - The Lands No One Wanted). The US NRCS and USFS are among agencies that have used varying means to help assess and address watershed issues and opportunities for improvement from agricultural and forestry practices. Getting to situations where farming and/or forestry livelihoods can become efficient enough or have funding supports to allow for some portion of the lands and investments be used for conservation, such as forested or grassed stream buffer zones, or low or no till approaches on erodible or low fertility lands. Certain benefits of stream buffers for hunting, fishing, water quality (downstream reservoirs, habitats, community or urban water supplies and treatment costs, etc), scenery, and other eco-functions have economic value that is sometimes difficult to determine as well as return benefits to the farmer for installing or incorporating best management practices of conservation on those lands. In some instances, an ounce of prevention is much more desireable when faced with a pound of cure.
