Abstract


Climate proofing of watershed development programmes is a methodological approach aimed at incorporating climate change impacts into watershed development planning. It helps in assessing adaptation measures in relation to current and future challenges/opportunities and enables implementation of efficient and resilient watershed programmes through identification and prioritization of options for action. For developing net plan for climate resilient watershed management, current climate risks, future climate projections, its impacts on water and agriculture and farmer’s experiences/knowledge in facing the extreme weather events were considered. Important suggestions included, soil and water conservation, increasing Water Use Efficiency, mobile phone linked ICT and capacity building.
