Strengthening Redd And Watershed Management In Bhutan

Di: Ava

Promoting sustainable land management and rehabilitating degraded areas: Land degradation, which is increasingly common in the Gamri watershed, is one of the root causes of declining agricultural productivity in the region. Abstract This chapter provides an exhaustive review of studies on watershed management (WSM) in seven South Asian countries, namely, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka to identify the technologies and institutions that are being adopted. The experience of South Asia in watershed management has shown that it can be

Additionally this project will also complement RSPN’s effort on already initiated watershed conservation project in Buli. At national level, the REDD+ Readiness Project has been ongoing since 2014 which has been implementing by Watershed Management Division (WMD) under Department of Forest and Park Services (DoFPS). Adapting to climate change in the Himalayan region requires a combination of ecosystem-based approaches, such as afforestation and watershed management, alongside community-driven initiatives like sustainable agriculture and disaster preparedness programs. In Bhutan, the REDD-plus program was initiated through a two-day seminar in June 2010 with support from the UN-REDD program. Thereon, a scoping study on the feasibility of REDD+ was carried out. The Watershed Management Division in consultation with all the relevant stakeholders submitted REDD+ Readiness phase to Forest Carbon Partnership Facility in July

In addition to the above actions enabling actions are identified: Training and capacity building of planners and operators. Awareness raising of citizens. Watershed management is among the most widely adopted technology due to its suitability and appropriateness across climatic conditions. Watershed technology is also suitable to protect and enhance soil fertility, which is deteriorating at an alarming rate with agricultural intensification. More importantly, it caught the policy attention in some countries due to its

Good science is not enough; we need useful science. As a result, watershed management is perceived to be both institutionally and scientifically A Roadmap for Watershed Management in Bhutan 2011 W a t e r s h e d M a n a g e m e n t D i v i s i o n Page ES 2 complex, and thus inherently difficult to implement.

Approximately 80% of the population work in agriculture, and the sector contributes to 24% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. Abstract: Bhutan is a small yet water-abundant country. The country suffers from frequent flooding and is lately experiencing a growing risk of localized droughts due to inappropriate water resource management and climate change. Such a situation calls for much more efficient use and management of water in Bhutan.

From Training to Transformation: Building Bhutan’s Geospatial Capabilities for Evidence-Based Land Management Bhutan, the world’s first carbon-negative country, faces the complex challenge of managing its limited land resources. With only 7 per cent of land being arable, increasing urbanization and development create mounting pressure on food security, climate resilience, The study area includes protection of critical watersheds of south-western Bhutan with focus on the demarcation of recharge areas of drying lakes and springs as a first step for intervention. Some studies have shown that demarcation and strategic interventions in the recharge areas of critical watersheds make substantive differences in the flow of spring water and the health of Securing Bhutan ’s protected areas, comprising 51% of its territory, thus preventing deforestation and preserving resources. Bhutan is committed to the bold goal of remaining carbon as re-stated in its NDC under the Paris Agreement.

It finds that while countries like India and Nepal still need to strengthen technical aspects of watershed design, other countries need to focus on strengthening watershed Conservation of wetland and freshwater is one of the important thematic programs of RSPN, and has been working to improve water resource management practices through implementation of water-saving techniques, restoring wetlands and watersheds through springshed and watershed management, and building climate-resilient drinking water infrastructure. With regard to watershed management, the WMD formulates policies and is guided by key Acts such as Forest and Nature Conservation Act 1995, the Water Act 2011, the Water Regulation of Bhutan 2014, Water Policy of Bhutan, Forest Policy 2011, Forest and Nature Conservation Rules and Regulation (FNCRR) 2017 and other relevant legislations of the
