Overview

This book explores the role of Collective Action (CA) in Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) in India, focusing on rain-fed and drought-prone regions. It examines institutional and policy barriers limiting community participation and analyzes factors influencing CA's effectiveness in achieving economic gains and environmental sustainability. Using water quality assessments, surveys, and case studies, it highlights challenges such as long gestation periods of benefits, inequitable distribution among landless and marginal farmers, and the need for fair resource-sharing mechanisms. The work offers insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners aiming for inclusive, sustainable watershed management.
