Overview on the initiative
Objective/Focus
Key activities
Objective: Watershed as a strategy for the ecosystem management
and climate change management
Autonomous
adaptations
Watershed projects can facilitate autonomous adaptations by
communities by putting systematic mechanisms in place (e.g.,
communication, credit, finance, social network, alternative services,
livelihoods, etc.)
Making available
information and
technology
Enhance capacity to adapt by making available information on range of
options; and affordable and appropriate technology
•Measures to improve soil moisture content and conserve water.
•Minimise the adverse impact of climate variability on crops by
improving the micro climate (i.e., by conserving moisture and
developing green cover).
Improving access to
meteorological
information.
•Access to historical data as well as day-to-day, reliable weather
forecast specifically targeted to farming practices.

Economic support tools
Crop, cattle and health insurance
Convergence with MGNREGS for drought proofing
Objective: Restoration of tanks’ and dependent livelihoods in resolving crisis of
water and employment
Improving water storage
capacity of tanks
•
Created more than 1 million cu.m. of additional
storage capacity.
•
Recharged 2500 tube wells; and revived 980
dried up wells
•
Generated 0.51 million days of employment,
which arrested migration of 4500 families
•
Assured drinking water for human and animal
population
•
Soil fertility improved in 18000 ha with tank silt
application
•
Strengthened 108 tank management institutions

Objective: Preparedness for responding to risks and uncertainty in WASH
sector
Equity and inclusion
Focus on tribal and hard to reach areas
CSO networks engagement for fair water rights enable flexible responses to risks
and uncertainty
Mitigation on the impacts on sanitation, especially due to changes in groundwater
caused by an increasing incidence of drought and flood.
Infrastructure resilience
Improve design, construction and management
Replacing damaged WASH systems
Design emergency WASH systems
Management and governance
Disaster risk reduction strategies (e.g., water and sanitation services will be most
affected during drought and floods, and women and children especially face
hardship during such events).
Additional finance Improve weather forecasting
Information flows for adaptation to climate change impacts
Priority to areas more prone to climate change
Focus on waste management, water contamination (concentration of pollutants),
increase in water demand (overcoming water shortage), infrastructure, and sources
of methane emission
Access to services
Technology [for prevention and cure]
Folie 13
Universal access to health technology as well as services must be ensured
Reduce water-borne diseases, as 50% of diseases are water-borne

Approach and methodology for community-based adaptation
 Adaptation is an action that people/households /individuals taken in response to
stress, including that due to climate change.
 Autonomous adaptations by communities by putting systematic mechanisms in place
(e.g., communication, credit, finance, social network, alternative services
livelihoods, etc.)
 Improve the capacity to by making available information
 Providing Affordable and appropriate technology
 Improving access to meteorological information (e.g., reliable weather forecast
specifically targeted to farming practices.)
 Capacity building of communities with respect to the crop, cattle and health
insurance
 The information and awareness
 Institution building and creation of support systems
Folie 14
 Document communities’ coping mechanisms and adaptations and disseminate them on
a large scale.

 Creation of

 Higher income
 Better food

 Strong local

 Improved
planning and

 Ability to
leverage external

Negative
effects
 Limited
influence on

 More bore wells
sunk (need for
better collective
water
mangement)
 Limited sucess in
diversification of
livelihoods
 Lack of localsied
information

Monitoring and evaluation of progress and impacts
M&E system
 Baseline data on different variables and parameters to compare impacts
with the pre-project situation
 Collected seasonal data for monitoring crop productivity, ground water
table, etc.
 Community based planning and monitoring for each season
 Outcome monitoring: Documentation of case studies, Thematic studies
 Annual reviews

Lessons learnt on making community-based adaptation work
• Interventions have enhanced resilience of local communities
through building up livelihood assets
• Increased natural resource base (water, irrigated crop & pasture
land) leading to higher income and better food security
• Building response capacity: Investment in human capital
resulted in enhanced capacity of community for NRM mgt.
• Need to explicitly identify and build in measures focusing on
ability to manage climate risks (and where applicable:
confronting impacts of CC)
Folie 17

 Localised information on the manifestations of climate
change is needed:
– Timely access to weather information
– Option sets
– Access to knowledge and information
 Creation/strengthening of local institutions to improve
planning and management skills leads to continuity, ability
to leverage external resources and creation of knowledge
 Strong local institutions that continue beyond project Folie 18
periods are seen as a main driver for managing climate risks
