SHARED CONTROL OF NATURAL RESOURCES

SPATIAL DATABASE FOR PLANNING AND

MONITORING RESOURCE USE CHANGE1

Gamini P Batuwitag~

INTRODUCTION

Shared Control of Natural Resources (SCOR) project is a research

project implemented as a collaborative effort of the Government of

Sri Lanka the United States Agency for International development

and the International Irrigation Management Institute The project

combines both research and development interventions for achieving

sustainable productivity of natural resources ~n pilot watersheds

(map 1) Its role is to act as a catalyst facilitating change in

the resources use patterns from an observed sub-optimal status to

a possible l desirable and sustainable status articulated jointly

with the resources users (figure 1 and 2)

This change is attempted through shared control of resources

str ng a balance between production and protection The planning

approach is illustrated in figure 3 SCOR teams developed work

plans with the resources users user organizations relevant

government agencies at various levels and with those who have

expert knowledge on specific areas of interventions setting targets

achievable within a given period of time It is this process of

effecting change that has to be monitored and evaluated to

ascertain the vjability of the SCOR model of intervention in the

watershed resource management

c THE HEED FOR SPATIAL DATA

c In a natural resources management project in a watershed context laquo the focus is on changing the existing undesirable landuse pattern c to one of planned sustainable resources use The expected change

cwill be visible on the geographic space as the result of the action

taken by the resources users as figure 2 illustrates The choice c of appropriate action is influenced by the acquired information on c factors affecting change of the resources base The type size and

cquality of the resources base is influenced by its location and the

form in which the Nature has made them available for human use c c

Figure 1 and 2 illustrate this conceptualization In Huruluwewa

the dry zone agro ecological characteristics set different limits c to resources use than those set in Upper Nilwala watershed in the c wet zone While water or lack of it becomes the unifying factor c for human action to change the resource use in the Huruluwewa

cwatershed integrated resources management it is slope that

influence same in the Nilwala watershed In both watersheds thus c the relative location of the phenomena affecting the resource use c change is a critical factor Gaining knowledge on what is where

cand how involves the acquisition of spatial data on the physical

properties and the functions of the geographic space so that the c anticipated change can be articulated facilitated monitored and c evaluated

c - 6 shy c

c c ~

The need felt for the design and creation of a spatial database

is fourfold First it is necessary to gain adequate knowledge of

the sub location identified for priority intervention Second

such a data base would collect store and provide necessary

information for constraint analysis that would lead to the

identification of activities for planning Third the activities

can be monitored to ascertain whether work in progress in achieving

the planned output and short term effects Fourth it would

provide a baseline to record the prevailing status of the

subwatershed so that the change taken place can be identified and

assessed at a future date

SPATIAL SETTING FOR INTERVENTIONS

SCOR watershed teams started work in the field with the following

set of interventions identified as output of the initial planning

and simulation workshops

1 Stabilization of chena and encroached state lands

2 Regeneration of tank eco-system

3 Integrated water management

4 Sharing resources for improving homesteads

5 Ground water development and management

6 Land consolidation in minor tanks

7 Integrated planning and coordination

8 Organization of user groups for production and related

services

9 Integrated management of Land and water resources

10 Improving tea paddy culture

11 Research

Subsequently the teams identified subwatersheds within the

watershed for SCOR interventions Within the sub watersheds there

are sublocations that have been identified as contiguous spatial

uni ts based on the watershed principle as micro watersheds in

- 7 shy

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

c c) The slope of the plot should be of the category that Ci

requires soil conservation practices Cd) The plot should be of a status already subjected and

vulnerable to erosion C e) The plot should have no satisfactory conservation

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

above criteria the computer produced a list of 25 plots out of the c 120 plots The GIS mapped those plots by pulling out the selected

bull c

data from the database showing the distributio~ of the plots the shy

total land area under these plots is 305 acres where as the

project needs 40 acres Being satisfied with the contiguity of the bulldistribution of the plots the adjoining plots are selected to fill bullthe gap creating a good model for evaluation research so that one

can learn to what extent the type of motivation resulting in the bull desired change of land use on plots both that satisfy and do not bullsatisfy the set criteria bull MONITORING BY USERS bull

- Map 8 outlines the major interventions guiding action on the

4 ground facilitating self monitoring by the user organization Thus

fthe spatial database combines spatial and attribute data for

providing the ability to control action with the information f generated to implement the project to achieve the status

articulated as the possible future prosperity of the area and

people concerned

Table 4 presents the monitoring format for the farmer organization

to monitor their activities Such an activity monitoring is

necessary to effectively manage the funds mobilized by the farmer

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Gamini P Batuwitag~

INTRODUCTION

Shared Control of Natural Resources (SCOR) project is a research

project implemented as a collaborative effort of the Government of

Sri Lanka the United States Agency for International development

and the International Irrigation Management Institute The project

combines both research and development interventions for achieving

sustainable productivity of natural resources ~n pilot watersheds

(map 1) Its role is to act as a catalyst facilitating change in

the resources use patterns from an observed sub-optimal status to

a possible l desirable and sustainable status articulated jointly

with the resources users (figure 1 and 2)

This change is attempted through shared control of resources

str ng a balance between production and protection The planning

approach is illustrated in figure 3 SCOR teams developed work

plans with the resources users user organizations relevant

government agencies at various levels and with those who have

expert knowledge on specific areas of interventions setting targets

achievable within a given period of time It is this process of

effecting change that has to be monitored and evaluated to

ascertain the vjability of the SCOR model of intervention in the

watershed resource management

c THE HEED FOR SPATIAL DATA

c In a natural resources management project in a watershed context laquo the focus is on changing the existing undesirable landuse pattern c to one of planned sustainable resources use The expected change

cwill be visible on the geographic space as the result of the action

taken by the resources users as figure 2 illustrates The choice c of appropriate action is influenced by the acquired information on c factors affecting change of the resources base The type size and

cquality of the resources base is influenced by its location and the

form in which the Nature has made them available for human use c c

Figure 1 and 2 illustrate this conceptualization In Huruluwewa

the dry zone agro ecological characteristics set different limits c to resources use than those set in Upper Nilwala watershed in the c wet zone While water or lack of it becomes the unifying factor c for human action to change the resource use in the Huruluwewa

cwatershed integrated resources management it is slope that

influence same in the Nilwala watershed In both watersheds thus c the relative location of the phenomena affecting the resource use c change is a critical factor Gaining knowledge on what is where

cand how involves the acquisition of spatial data on the physical

properties and the functions of the geographic space so that the c anticipated change can be articulated facilitated monitored and c evaluated

The need felt for the design and creation of a spatial database

is fourfold First it is necessary to gain adequate knowledge of

the sub location identified for priority intervention Second

such a data base would collect store and provide necessary

information for constraint analysis that would lead to the

identification of activities for planning Third the activities

can be monitored to ascertain whether work in progress in achieving

the planned output and short term effects Fourth it would

provide a baseline to record the prevailing status of the

subwatershed so that the change taken place can be identified and

assessed at a future date

SPATIAL SETTING FOR INTERVENTIONS

SCOR watershed teams started work in the field with the following

set of interventions identified as output of the initial planning

and simulation workshops

1 Stabilization of chena and encroached state lands

2 Regeneration of tank eco-system

3 Integrated water management

4 Sharing resources for improving homesteads

5 Ground water development and management

6 Land consolidation in minor tanks

7 Integrated planning and coordination

8 Organization of user groups for production and related

services

9 Integrated management of Land and water resources

10 Improving tea paddy culture

11 Research

Subsequently the teams identified subwatersheds within the

watershed for SCOR interventions Within the sub watersheds there

are sublocations that have been identified as contiguous spatial

uni ts based on the watershed principle as micro watersheds in

- 7 shy

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Map 13 shows locations of measurement points for data collection on

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

c THE HEED FOR SPATIAL DATA

c In a natural resources management project in a watershed context laquo the focus is on changing the existing undesirable landuse pattern c to one of planned sustainable resources use The expected change

cwill be visible on the geographic space as the result of the action

taken by the resources users as figure 2 illustrates The choice c of appropriate action is influenced by the acquired information on c factors affecting change of the resources base The type size and

cquality of the resources base is influenced by its location and the

form in which the Nature has made them available for human use c c

Figure 1 and 2 illustrate this conceptualization In Huruluwewa

the dry zone agro ecological characteristics set different limits c to resources use than those set in Upper Nilwala watershed in the c wet zone While water or lack of it becomes the unifying factor c for human action to change the resource use in the Huruluwewa

cwatershed integrated resources management it is slope that

influence same in the Nilwala watershed In both watersheds thus c the relative location of the phenomena affecting the resource use c change is a critical factor Gaining knowledge on what is where

cand how involves the acquisition of spatial data on the physical

properties and the functions of the geographic space so that the c anticipated change can be articulated facilitated monitored and c evaluated

c - 6 shy c

c c ~

The need felt for the design and creation of a spatial database

is fourfold First it is necessary to gain adequate knowledge of

the sub location identified for priority intervention Second

such a data base would collect store and provide necessary

information for constraint analysis that would lead to the

identification of activities for planning Third the activities

can be monitored to ascertain whether work in progress in achieving

the planned output and short term effects Fourth it would

provide a baseline to record the prevailing status of the

subwatershed so that the change taken place can be identified and

assessed at a future date

SPATIAL SETTING FOR INTERVENTIONS

SCOR watershed teams started work in the field with the following

set of interventions identified as output of the initial planning

and simulation workshops

1 Stabilization of chena and encroached state lands

2 Regeneration of tank eco-system

3 Integrated water management

4 Sharing resources for improving homesteads

5 Ground water development and management

6 Land consolidation in minor tanks

7 Integrated planning and coordination

8 Organization of user groups for production and related

services

9 Integrated management of Land and water resources

10 Improving tea paddy culture

11 Research

Subsequently the teams identified subwatersheds within the

watershed for SCOR interventions Within the sub watersheds there

are sublocations that have been identified as contiguous spatial

uni ts based on the watershed principle as micro watersheds in

- 7 shy

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

c THE HEED FOR SPATIAL DATA

c In a natural resources management project in a watershed context laquo the focus is on changing the existing undesirable landuse pattern c to one of planned sustainable resources use The expected change

cwill be visible on the geographic space as the result of the action

taken by the resources users as figure 2 illustrates The choice c of appropriate action is influenced by the acquired information on c factors affecting change of the resources base The type size and

cquality of the resources base is influenced by its location and the

form in which the Nature has made them available for human use c c

Figure 1 and 2 illustrate this conceptualization In Huruluwewa

the dry zone agro ecological characteristics set different limits c to resources use than those set in Upper Nilwala watershed in the c wet zone While water or lack of it becomes the unifying factor c for human action to change the resource use in the Huruluwewa

cwatershed integrated resources management it is slope that

influence same in the Nilwala watershed In both watersheds thus c the relative location of the phenomena affecting the resource use c change is a critical factor Gaining knowledge on what is where

cand how involves the acquisition of spatial data on the physical

properties and the functions of the geographic space so that the c anticipated change can be articulated facilitated monitored and c evaluated

c - 6 shy c

c c ~

The need felt for the design and creation of a spatial database

is fourfold First it is necessary to gain adequate knowledge of

the sub location identified for priority intervention Second

such a data base would collect store and provide necessary

information for constraint analysis that would lead to the

identification of activities for planning Third the activities

can be monitored to ascertain whether work in progress in achieving

the planned output and short term effects Fourth it would

provide a baseline to record the prevailing status of the

subwatershed so that the change taken place can be identified and

assessed at a future date

SPATIAL SETTING FOR INTERVENTIONS

SCOR watershed teams started work in the field with the following

set of interventions identified as output of the initial planning

and simulation workshops

1 Stabilization of chena and encroached state lands

2 Regeneration of tank eco-system

3 Integrated water management

4 Sharing resources for improving homesteads

5 Ground water development and management

6 Land consolidation in minor tanks

7 Integrated planning and coordination

8 Organization of user groups for production and related

services

9 Integrated management of Land and water resources

10 Improving tea paddy culture

11 Research

Subsequently the teams identified subwatersheds within the

watershed for SCOR interventions Within the sub watersheds there

are sublocations that have been identified as contiguous spatial

uni ts based on the watershed principle as micro watersheds in

- 7 shy

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

the research findings under SCOR Table 3 presents an example of

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

farming

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

c THE HEED FOR SPATIAL DATA

c In a natural resources management project in a watershed context laquo the focus is on changing the existing undesirable landuse pattern c to one of planned sustainable resources use The expected change

cwill be visible on the geographic space as the result of the action

taken by the resources users as figure 2 illustrates The choice c of appropriate action is influenced by the acquired information on c factors affecting change of the resources base The type size and

cquality of the resources base is influenced by its location and the

form in which the Nature has made them available for human use c c

Figure 1 and 2 illustrate this conceptualization In Huruluwewa

the dry zone agro ecological characteristics set different limits c to resources use than those set in Upper Nilwala watershed in the c wet zone While water or lack of it becomes the unifying factor c for human action to change the resource use in the Huruluwewa

cwatershed integrated resources management it is slope that

influence same in the Nilwala watershed In both watersheds thus c the relative location of the phenomena affecting the resource use c change is a critical factor Gaining knowledge on what is where

cand how involves the acquisition of spatial data on the physical

properties and the functions of the geographic space so that the c anticipated change can be articulated facilitated monitored and c evaluated

c - 6 shy c

c c ~

The need felt for the design and creation of a spatial database

is fourfold First it is necessary to gain adequate knowledge of

the sub location identified for priority intervention Second

such a data base would collect store and provide necessary

information for constraint analysis that would lead to the

identification of activities for planning Third the activities

can be monitored to ascertain whether work in progress in achieving

the planned output and short term effects Fourth it would

provide a baseline to record the prevailing status of the

subwatershed so that the change taken place can be identified and

assessed at a future date

SPATIAL SETTING FOR INTERVENTIONS

SCOR watershed teams started work in the field with the following

set of interventions identified as output of the initial planning

and simulation workshops

1 Stabilization of chena and encroached state lands

2 Regeneration of tank eco-system

3 Integrated water management

4 Sharing resources for improving homesteads

5 Ground water development and management

6 Land consolidation in minor tanks

7 Integrated planning and coordination

8 Organization of user groups for production and related

services

9 Integrated management of Land and water resources

10 Improving tea paddy culture

11 Research

Subsequently the teams identified subwatersheds within the

watershed for SCOR interventions Within the sub watersheds there

are sublocations that have been identified as contiguous spatial

uni ts based on the watershed principle as micro watersheds in

- 7 shy

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

above criteria the computer produced a list of 25 plots out of the c 120 plots The GIS mapped those plots by pulling out the selected

fthe spatial database combines spatial and attribute data for

providing the ability to control action with the information f generated to implement the project to achieve the status

articulated as the possible future prosperity of the area and

people concerned

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

c THE HEED FOR SPATIAL DATA

c In a natural resources management project in a watershed context laquo the focus is on changing the existing undesirable landuse pattern c to one of planned sustainable resources use The expected change

cwill be visible on the geographic space as the result of the action

taken by the resources users as figure 2 illustrates The choice c of appropriate action is influenced by the acquired information on c factors affecting change of the resources base The type size and

cquality of the resources base is influenced by its location and the

form in which the Nature has made them available for human use c c

Figure 1 and 2 illustrate this conceptualization In Huruluwewa

the dry zone agro ecological characteristics set different limits c to resources use than those set in Upper Nilwala watershed in the c wet zone While water or lack of it becomes the unifying factor c for human action to change the resource use in the Huruluwewa

cwatershed integrated resources management it is slope that

influence same in the Nilwala watershed In both watersheds thus c the relative location of the phenomena affecting the resource use c change is a critical factor Gaining knowledge on what is where

cand how involves the acquisition of spatial data on the physical

properties and the functions of the geographic space so that the c anticipated change can be articulated facilitated monitored and c evaluated

The need felt for the design and creation of a spatial database

is fourfold First it is necessary to gain adequate knowledge of

the sub location identified for priority intervention Second

such a data base would collect store and provide necessary

information for constraint analysis that would lead to the

identification of activities for planning Third the activities

can be monitored to ascertain whether work in progress in achieving

the planned output and short term effects Fourth it would

provide a baseline to record the prevailing status of the

subwatershed so that the change taken place can be identified and

assessed at a future date

SPATIAL SETTING FOR INTERVENTIONS

SCOR watershed teams started work in the field with the following

set of interventions identified as output of the initial planning

and simulation workshops

1 Stabilization of chena and encroached state lands

2 Regeneration of tank eco-system

3 Integrated water management

4 Sharing resources for improving homesteads

5 Ground water development and management

6 Land consolidation in minor tanks

7 Integrated planning and coordination

8 Organization of user groups for production and related

services

9 Integrated management of Land and water resources

10 Improving tea paddy culture

11 Research

Subsequently the teams identified subwatersheds within the

watershed for SCOR interventions Within the sub watersheds there

are sublocations that have been identified as contiguous spatial

uni ts based on the watershed principle as micro watersheds in

- 7 shy

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

c c) The slope of the plot should be of the category that Ci

requires soil conservation practices Cd) The plot should be of a status already subjected and

vulnerable to erosion C e) The plot should have no satisfactory conservation

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

above criteria the computer produced a list of 25 plots out of the c 120 plots The GIS mapped those plots by pulling out the selected

bull c

data from the database showing the distributio~ of the plots the shy

total land area under these plots is 305 acres where as the

project needs 40 acres Being satisfied with the contiguity of the bulldistribution of the plots the adjoining plots are selected to fill bullthe gap creating a good model for evaluation research so that one

- Map 8 outlines the major interventions guiding action on the

fthe spatial database combines spatial and attribute data for

providing the ability to control action with the information f generated to implement the project to achieve the status

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Map 13 shows locations of measurement points for data collection on

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

a sizeable portion of the data will have to be generated through a I participatory mode of action This paper illustrates how this

shared control of natural resources project

c THE HEED FOR SPATIAL DATA

c In a natural resources management project in a watershed context laquo the focus is on changing the existing undesirable landuse pattern c to one of planned sustainable resources use The expected change

cwill be visible on the geographic space as the result of the action

taken by the resources users as figure 2 illustrates The choice c of appropriate action is influenced by the acquired information on c factors affecting change of the resources base The type size and

cquality of the resources base is influenced by its location and the

form in which the Nature has made them available for human use c c

Figure 1 and 2 illustrate this conceptualization In Huruluwewa

the dry zone agro ecological characteristics set different limits c to resources use than those set in Upper Nilwala watershed in the c wet zone While water or lack of it becomes the unifying factor c for human action to change the resource use in the Huruluwewa

cwatershed integrated resources management it is slope that

influence same in the Nilwala watershed In both watersheds thus c the relative location of the phenomena affecting the resource use c change is a critical factor Gaining knowledge on what is where

cand how involves the acquisition of spatial data on the physical

properties and the functions of the geographic space so that the c anticipated change can be articulated facilitated monitored and c evaluated

c - 6 shy c

c c ~

The need felt for the design and creation of a spatial database

is fourfold First it is necessary to gain adequate knowledge of

the sub location identified for priority intervention Second

such a data base would collect store and provide necessary

information for constraint analysis that would lead to the

identification of activities for planning Third the activities

can be monitored to ascertain whether work in progress in achieving

the planned output and short term effects Fourth it would

provide a baseline to record the prevailing status of the

subwatershed so that the change taken place can be identified and

assessed at a future date

SPATIAL SETTING FOR INTERVENTIONS

SCOR watershed teams started work in the field with the following

set of interventions identified as output of the initial planning

and simulation workshops

1 Stabilization of chena and encroached state lands

2 Regeneration of tank eco-system

3 Integrated water management

4 Sharing resources for improving homesteads

5 Ground water development and management

6 Land consolidation in minor tanks

7 Integrated planning and coordination

8 Organization of user groups for production and related

services

9 Integrated management of Land and water resources

10 Improving tea paddy culture

11 Research

Subsequently the teams identified subwatersheds within the

watershed for SCOR interventions Within the sub watersheds there

are sublocations that have been identified as contiguous spatial

uni ts based on the watershed principle as micro watersheds in

- 7 shy

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

a detailed evaluation with a better understanding of the spatial bull distribution of inputs vis a vis the programme outcome bull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Page 8: Shared Control of Natural Resources Spatial Database for ...publications.iwmi.org/pdf/H045201.pdf · planning and implementation in the sub watersheds. This distribution of sUblocations

The need felt for the design and creation of a spatial database

is fourfold First it is necessary to gain adequate knowledge of

the sub location identified for priority intervention Second

such a data base would collect store and provide necessary

information for constraint analysis that would lead to the

identification of activities for planning Third the activities

can be monitored to ascertain whether work in progress in achieving

the planned output and short term effects Fourth it would

provide a baseline to record the prevailing status of the

subwatershed so that the change taken place can be identified and

assessed at a future date

SPATIAL SETTING FOR INTERVENTIONS

SCOR watershed teams started work in the field with the following

set of interventions identified as output of the initial planning

and simulation workshops

1 Stabilization of chena and encroached state lands

2 Regeneration of tank eco-system

3 Integrated water management

4 Sharing resources for improving homesteads

5 Ground water development and management

6 Land consolidation in minor tanks

7 Integrated planning and coordination

8 Organization of user groups for production and related

services

9 Integrated management of Land and water resources

10 Improving tea paddy culture

11 Research

Subsequently the teams identified subwatersheds within the

watershed for SCOR interventions Within the sub watersheds there

are sublocations that have been identified as contiguous spatial

uni ts based on the watershed principle as micro watersheds in

- 7 shy

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Nilwala and as cascades in Huruluwewa for intensive operation of

activities covering the entire unit area with all the possible

interventions in order to gain knowledge of the impact of the

resources management model for the purpose of replication

elsewhere

Figure 4 presents the 11 sub locations where intensive planning and

implementation of activities are taking place in the Huruluwewa

watershed Each 6ublocation is the work area of a catalyst with

the exception of the 11th location (Tract 6 of the Huruluwewa

command) which is the specific work area for the Coordinator of

Women and Youth activities

Figure 5 presents the main four subwatersheds of the Upper Nilwala

watershed where two large sublocations in the Aninkanda and Millawa

subwatershed are under intensive resources use planning and

adaptation Several sUblocations of varying sizes are under

planning and implementation in the sub watersheds This

distribution of sUblocations forms the spatial setting for the

creation of the spatial database for SCOR project with the addition

of the Huruluwewa command and specific cascades of interest where

SCOR activities take place

INDICATORS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The choice of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of change

expected in a watershed resources management project involves

consideration of several important issues as indicated below

1 How much change can be captured by the MampE in the short

run

2 Does the period of intervention covers a period long

enough to capture the long term changes anticipated

3 Could results of sample surveys be generalized to apply

for the entire watershed

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Map 13 shows locations of measurement points for data collection on

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

the research findings under SCOR Table 3 presents an example of

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

farming

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

c c) The slope of the plot should be of the category that Ci

requires soil conservation practices Cd) The plot should be of a status already subjected and

vulnerable to erosion C e) The plot should have no satisfactory conservation

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

above criteria the computer produced a list of 25 plots out of the c 120 plots The GIS mapped those plots by pulling out the selected

data from the database showing the distributio~ of the plots the shy

total land area under these plots is 305 acres where as the

project needs 40 acres Being satisfied with the contiguity of the bulldistribution of the plots the adjoining plots are selected to fill bullthe gap creating a good model for evaluation research so that one

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Map 13 shows locations of measurement points for data collection on

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

4 What aspect would receive priority between gaining

knowledge on performance of the models with direct

interventions or gaining knowledge on general processes

in the watershed context for research interest

As far as monitoring of the direct project inputs and outputs are

concerned the above mentioned issues would not make ser ious

problems SCOR project has an elaborate system to monitor the

inputs and outputs of project activities as described in greater

details later in this document The issues are criticE nen it

comes to monitoring and evaluation of project effects ild impact

which is of paramount importance

The project effects are defined as the outcom~ of the increased

utilization of project output Not all the project effects are

observable during the short run It is important to note however

that certain important effects can be observed that would indicate

the direction of the interventions towards the achievement of its

goal This position accepts the presence of short and long term

effects that would permit partial capture of change adequate to

form opinion on the direction of the project

In respect of certain types of indicators and meas es it is

dif f icul t to claim generalizability of results So~ 10SS and

sediment transportation are two of such indicators The di11 culty

arises when the results are used to generalize claiming

effectsimpact attributable to a particular intervention across the

watershed

SCOR project addresses this difficulty in two ways First it

listed all possible indicators and prepared an indicator matrix

that carries information on each indicator in respect of its

particular unit of measure data needs and sources methods of data

collection and techniques the sub location and who is responsible

for data collection measurement and reporting (See annex 1)I

- 11

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

The strategic indicators characterize realizable effects of the

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

the research findings under SCOR Table 3 presents an example of

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

farming

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Second it evaluated each indicator in respect of its validity

generalizability and adoptability in terms of time cost and

degree of contribution to SCOR process It was then possible to

come to the following conclusions in respect of the 3rd and fourth

issues

1 Generalization is attempted across space of given

conditions where insitu values of change can be computed

at lesser cost and time

2 Priority is given to a combination of factors directly

revealing the usefulness of interventions at micro level

and few general processes such as water use efficiency

resources conservation and degradation to meet the

obligations of a research project

A set of indicators selected with an indication of its spatial

reference appear on figure 6 Information provided using these

indicators can adequately characterize the change took place in the

subwatersheds under SCOR interventions These indicators are

categorized under four sub headings to reflect their level of

aggregation

At the highest aggregated level the change (progress) is reflected

by strategic level indicators in a summary form The next level is

the programme outcome level that gives more details of output and

possible effects The third level presents a set of indicators

allowing a quick look on direct outputs realized The fourth level

is the lowest level of data presentation by activity with remarks

explaining the figures there in referring to documents that carry

further details of the activity and process involved

STRATEGIC INDICATORS

interventions wi thin the project period in relation to broad

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

a detailed evaluation with a better understanding of the spatial bull distribution of inputs vis a vis the programme outcome bull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

c c) The slope of the plot should be of the category that Ci

requires soil conservation practices Cd) The plot should be of a status already subjected and

vulnerable to erosion C e) The plot should have no satisfactory conservation

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

above criteria the computer produced a list of 25 plots out of the c 120 plots The GIS mapped those plots by pulling out the selected

bull c

data from the database showing the distributio~ of the plots the shy

total land area under these plots is 305 acres where as the

project needs 40 acres Being satisfied with the contiguity of the bulldistribution of the plots the adjoining plots are selected to fill bullthe gap creating a good model for evaluation research so that one

can learn to what extent the type of motivation resulting in the bull desired change of land use on plots both that satisfy and do not bullsatisfy the set criteria bull MONITORING BY USERS bull

- Map 8 outlines the major interventions guiding action on the

4 ground facilitating self monitoring by the user organization Thus

fthe spatial database combines spatial and attribute data for

providing the ability to control action with the information f generated to implement the project to achieve the status

articulated as the possible future prosperity of the area and

people concerned

Table 4 presents the monitoring format for the farmer organization

to monitor their activities Such an activity monitoring is

necessary to effectively manage the funds mobilized by the farmer

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Map 13 shows locations of measurement points for data collection on

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

the research findings under SCOR Table 3 presents an example of

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

farming

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

the research findings under SCOR Table 3 presents an example of

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

farming

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

the research findings under SCOR Table 3 presents an example of

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

farming

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

There are specific indicators used in research studies to reflect

the research findings under SCOR Table 3 presents an example of

a set of indicators used in the research undertaken on conservation

farming

DATA COLLECTION

As it was indicated earlier the organization of programme planning

and implementation by sub locations was the basis for data

collection to build up the spatial data bases This results in the

building up of a spatial database in respect of each sublocation

facili tating planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of

interventions under the SCOR model of resources management

Any planning approach for sustainable area development should

initiate action on establishing a spatial data base that would help

extracting information on the human and physical resources and

their interaction of the area concerned In fact it is this

interaction that will be changed by the planning effort for

sustainable productivity of the resources use Figure 7 shows the

guidance for data collection by the segments of functional space in

the landscape of the selected sub location

The following steps are considered important in this process

1 Involve resources users for data collection and initial

mapping by individual plots

2 Use RRA (Rapid Rural Appraisal) PRA (Participatory

Rural Appraisal) techniques for data collection within a

reasonably shorter period of time to meet the planning

needs

3 Use technology appropriate to the task putting the mission first and the machine next to produce the

required output on time extracting information for

planning

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

a detailed evaluation with a better understanding of the spatial bull distribution of inputs vis a vis the programme outcome bull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

above criteria the computer produced a list of 25 plots out of the c 120 plots The GIS mapped those plots by pulling out the selected

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

a detailed evaluation with a better understanding of the spatial bull distribution of inputs vis a vis the programme outcome bull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Figure 7

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

4 Pass the information back to the resources users for

management that includes implementation and self

monitoring

Figure 3 on page 5 presents the various steps undertaken in the

required planning approach once an area (sub-watershed) is

identified for planning The case of Mahameegaswewa spatial data

base is used to illustrate the process involved

Mahameegaswewa is a small tank cascade system in the Huruluwewa

watershed Its landscape matches the typical landscape profile as

illustrated in figure 1 This area was selected as a model

contiguous area for intervention under SCOR

The SCOR team members formed a group consisting of resources users

of the village and few governm~nt officers to carry out the

participatory resource use survey in the village The group was

provided with a map of 1 3000 scale with land marks indicating

roads and streams for guidance The group collected data and

mapped each land plot of the village

Cleaning of the map to maintain accuracy to scale was done

subsequently by a draughtsman supporting the group and the map was

available for planning a resources management project for the area

The map was digitized and linked to the computerized data base

using IDRISI Geographic Information System Map 2 shows the

current land use as at end of January 1994 by individual plots

The database provides information on the ownership tenure slope

soil erosion status soil conservation practices adopted current

land use number of trees on the plot and socio economic data of

the household

- 20 shy

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Page 24: Shared Control of Natural Resources Spatial Database for ...publications.iwmi.org/pdf/H045201.pdf · planning and implementation in the sub watersheds. This distribution of sUblocations

Extracting information from the database the following theme maps

were produced

1 The current land use that can be updated seasonally with

the micro level changes taking place under the planned

activities in the area (map 2)

2 The slope of each highland plot categorized as the C gt1

slope and plane within the average 4 to 5 slope 1e

area allowing the selection of the plots f contour

bunds (map 3) -

3 The status of soil erosion on the highland plots (map 4)

4 The current conservation methods adopted by the resources

users (map 5)

5 The ownership of each land plot (map 6)

6 The land tenure (map 7)

A participatory resources management project was formtlated with an

investment of Rs 12 million The project aims to change the

current land use pattern to a productive diversified resource use

pattern combining production and conservation with interventions in

each major category of the land use map (Map 8) olombo based

company offered a forward contract to the user ~nization of

Meegaswewa to purchase a major portion of exportable produce under

the project A commercial bank agreed to provide a loan 4 times

larger than the SCOR grant for the user organization using the

grant deposit as collateral

Selection of plots for various activities is guided by querying the

database Map 9 illustrates this point The need was to identify

the plots having the best potential for homestead development

These plots will have to be selected from the highland plots The

following set of criteria was built up

a) The plots should have an area of one acre or more b) The house of the family should be located within the plot

to provide family labour including women easily and continuously

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Map 13 shows locations of measurement points for data collection on

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

a detailed evaluation with a better understanding of the spatial bull distribution of inputs vis a vis the programme outcome bull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

- Map 8 outlines the major interventions guiding action on the

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Map 13 shows locations of measurement points for data collection on

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

a detailed evaluation with a better understanding of the spatial bull distribution of inputs vis a vis the programme outcome bull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Map 13 shows locations of measurement points for data collection on

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

C practices adopted

c Annex 2 and 3 describe a sample of information extracted from the laquo data base c

cWhen the database was queried to extract the plots that meet the

above criteria the computer produced a list of 25 plots out of the c 120 plots The GIS mapped those plots by pulling out the selected

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

after interventions

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

the rainfall soil loss sediment transportation water quality and

other relevant aspects of the baseline conditions and the change

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

organization from the bank under the SCOR user grant component

In the Upper Nilwala watershed the spatial data collected was used

to extract information of the extent quality and the form of the

land and water resources in the subwatersheds Map 10 combines

slope data and plot data of the Aninkanda model production and

protection area where SCOR interventions are expected to cover the

total extent of land Slope categories were computed and classified

showing the areas under stress Plot data from the participatory

resource survey undertaken by the watershed office with resources

users and officials were used to superimpose each plot on the slope

map so that the combined map can give information that would

provide new information that would lead action This is facilitated

by pointing the area under stress and the plo~s in those areasl

Since the map is linked to a database I data available on who

occupies what land plot with what land use etc can be further

analyzed highlighting the spatial aspects extracting more

information from the data set

Map 11 presents a three dimensional view of the landuse in the

Aninkanda model sublocation mapped using the secondary data

available for 1989 According to this map the forest area is

limited to only 3 Map 12 Shows the landuse as at January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resources survey I carrying plot

level data This map and the database linked to it reveal the fact

that the area under dense forest had got reduced to a mere 1

The creation of the spatial database put the resources user

representatives and officials through a process of more fact

finding which is very complementary to the constraint analyses

undertaken using the ability to predict the future status of the

resources base

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

subwatershed

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

MilIa Ela flows from North to South east as indicated in the map

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

managing crops balancing production and protection on the sloping

lands The map also indicates the importance of the interventions

covering all categories of land space for effective results as

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

1 training bull 2 User group formation bull 3 User grants bull4 Complementary research

5 Host country contribution bullbull

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

a detailed evaluation with a better understanding of the spatial bull distribution of inputs vis a vis the programme outcome bull

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

Micro level databases linked to the location map of activities are

prepared for all the sublocations for the purposes of better

management of activities and monitoring An illustrative case is

the Annasidola production and protection project in Millawa

Map 14 presents the before project status as at end of January 1994

as mapped by the participatory resource use survey The map shows

the level of resource degradation with a large area under

moderately or poorly managed tea exposed waterways and open

forest areas Map 15 portraits the possible future planned by the

resources users The map indicates the planned vision of

transforming all the tea lands to well managed tea lands with fern

to floriculture low productive paddy to a seed farm open forests

to agro forestry exposed streams and road reservations to avenue

planting and stream reservation protection

This project formulated by the resources user organization has a

plan of action to make this transformation on landscape ~appen with

the technology organization and resources mobilized under SCOR

It is important to note that all the major interventions can be

seen translated to action on this space by the resources users

The slope is from South west to North east This land form

indicates the direction of drainage and the protective action

envisaged under avenue planting stream reservation protection and

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

The spatial aspects of the impact of these inputs are viewed bullbroadly by the watershed at present with the ability to undertake

DATABASES

bull Group bull TratntncJ PCtivity Graru

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

INTEGRATING NON SPATIAL DATA C

CIn order to guide the process of human action on land for changed

landuse SCOR facilitates organization among resources users to C

strengthen their capacities for resources management This process C generates a volume of attribute data about groups investment

Cbehaviour management practices and hierarchical organizational

development These changes are input to the process of resources C

use change and therefore it is necessary to integrate these non C spatial data to the spatial data bases

C

Map 16 illustrates this point by showing how information on user C

groups adopting practices of land use change are linked to C databases Five different data bases for user groups are

C maintained The group database is updated once in six months

while the group activity database training database and the group bull user grant database are updated every month providing information bullof the expansion coverage and survival of grou~ practices

affecting the planned change bullbull

SCOR monitors the following major inputs that contributes to the bullcatalizing process in the watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

Figure 5 presents a sample data collection and display format used

in the Nilwala watershed indicating the field level organization

for data collection planning implementation and monitoring and

evaluation as explained earlier In support of these information

the catalysts have information in respect of each location on the

process of action and change in text form Information is

extracted from the databases maintained that can be mapped to show

the relevance to impact on the two pilot watersheds Annex 4

presents sample outputs of training user grants and host country

contribution by pilot watersheds

TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL DATABASE

It is important to make the right choice of technology for

developing spatial databases for watershed resources management in

the context of appropriateness usefulness complementarity

adaptability and affordability The following considerations were

important to SCOR project

1 Participatory resources use survey and mapping should be

facilitated

2 Information collected by the people should be available with

them for their use once processed and analyzed

3 Timely production of maps in adequate numbers with

descriptions in local language should be made available for

the use for planning implementation and monitoring

4 Micro level planning and management of activities should be

facilitated by the information system

S The choice of technology should be appropriate to the local

conditions to sustain IfMission first machine to support

Participatory resource use survey and mapping work was designed to

collect minimum information needed in a short period of time with

locally available know how Maps available were enlarged wherever

42

possible with the major land marks and boundaries marked to scale

so that the survey teams could mark plot level data maintaining

accuracy The field maps were redrawn by draughtsman adjusting for

scale where necessary Maps drawn for mini projects are in many

cases of 13000 scale For the purpose of computerization of these

maps and the subsequent analysis SCaR uses a low cost appropriate

Geographic information System (GIS)

GIS FOR WATERSHED RESOURCE USE PLANNING

Acquisition analysis display and reporting of information

extracted from spatial and non-spatial data on resources base and

use patterns are important functions of the Management Information

System of SCaR project The major task of the GIS is to create a

spatial database for the sub-watersheds generating information to

guide action in changing the current resources use to the desired

use and to help monitoring and evaluation of the process of

participatory watershed resources management SCaR project uses

IDRISI Geographic Information System (GIS) for this task

Maps were digitized using PC ARCINFO and converted to IDRISI format

for making rasterized images Creation of various thematic maps

and extracting information from the spatial data through proximity

analysis contiguity analysis and overlay operations were possible

Once the geographic definition map was produced in IDRISI it is

possible to link the database that is maintained in dbase or Lotus

to the map Delux paint software was used for map display and for

producing hard copies

Expensive color printing is minimised to meet the needs of

presentations whi~e more dot metrix printing of maps with titles

and legends in the local language was the method used to produce

maps for circulation among the resources users These maps can be

produced at the watershed offices in the two pilot watersheds

- 43 shy

The local production of maps and information is part of the spatial

data base and the monitoring system of SCOR project Figure 8

presents the broad MampE framework within which all the functions

are structured to ensure a sound management information system for

integrated watershed resources management
