Summary
Partner presentations Many success stories can be found
OARI and ARARI mention mainly in situ water conservation
ERHA mainly water harvesting structures For each project run, there are surveys done, some
of them have impact analysis Partners have a lot of information and data beyond the
3 pilote sites of N3 Some of the water management practices are not
mentionned (river diversion, wells, water lifting technolgogies) because it is beyond the mandate of the research centers (but belongs to the ministry of water)

Definition of “rainwater management strategy” Group 1 Any interventions that increase the water productivity and water availibility within the watershed.
Group 2 :Efficient and effective management and utilization for a targeted purpose, agriculture, livestock, domestic supply and/or environment, with minimal damage (below economic threshold level) to the land nor to the resource.

Classification of practices Group1:
Based on who takes the decision : farm household, the farmer community, the government
Group 2 : Physical:
In situ: no water storage crop rotation, mulching, crop residue, terrassing, contour farming, runoff
irrigation, dry planting, trench, eyebrow basin, halfmoon, tie ridging, zie pit, percolation pit, drainage system(ditches, cut off drain, BBF, Ridge & Farrow)
Ex situ : water storage structure farm pond, diversion, roof water harvesting, microdams, wells
Biological: crop varieties and types, afforestation, multi-purpose tree planting
Technological: water lifting devices, spring protection, BBM

Today’s program
5
Open “discussion board” How should the research center be organised
to contribute to the different NBDC projects? How should the GIS training look like? How are we going to access and share data
from the different partners? How is the N3 project going to be
implemented?
6
Bringing classification together (to be filled in)
Farm household
Farm community
Government
Physical (in situ)
Crop rotation, Terasse
Physical (ex situ)
Ponds, check dam
Ponds, check dam
Biological Improved variety, afforestation
technological Water lifting device, Spring protection

Prioritizing What are the top 5 most implemented practices
in the areas you work? What 5 potentially have the highest impact on farmer’s livelihoods?
What are the successes and contraints to adoption of these?
Where do these practices work best? What are the bio-physical characteristic that matter?
Who are the actors who need to be involved for adoption an practice?
What are the socio-economic and institutional conditions needed?
