Abstract
Practically all natural resources development programmes have been implemented at the watershed level in recent years because it has been repeatedly observed that watersheds are integrated socio-environmental units whose component parts are interdependent. The well-being of the components is dependent on the viability of the whole. To achieve improvement in environmental quality in specific components of a watershed requires a holistic planning and programme implementation approach.
