Notes

Abstract:
Villages in a river catchment are bound together by the water resources in the catchment that include streams, springs, and groundwater. Since the beginning of human settlements, village communities have managed local water resources. Today, however, the factors affecting water availability operate over much larger regions than those circumscribed to local communities. Examples are the rising human water demands basin-wide, deforestation, wetland loss, and climate change.
