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 sectorEquity 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 managementReplacing damaged WASH systemsDesign 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 impactsPriority to areas more prone to climate changeFocus 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]Universal access to health technology as well as services must be ensuredReduce water-borne diseases, as 50% of diseases are water-borne

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

Key impacts
Social Environmental
Economic Governnace
Benefits Enhanced resilience of poor and marginalised
Enhanced capacity of community for NRM mgt.
Creation of knowledge
Increased NRM base
Productive use of resources
Increase in ground water
Livelihood asssets created
Higher income Better food
security
Strong local institutions
Improved planning and management
Ability to leverage external resources
Negative effects
Limited influence on ultra poor
More bore wells sunk (need for better collective water mangement)
Limited sucess in diversification of livelihoods
Lack of localsied information affected crop choices and mangement

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
Monitoring and evaluation of progress and impacts

• 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)
Lessons learnt on making community-based adaptation work

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 periods are seen as a main driver for managing climate risks
