Accordingly, it was important to deepen the knowledge base about large-scale, community-led watershed development in order to share that knowledge with key stakeholders both inside and outside of the World Bank. Another important reason was the immediate and growing concern over water resources and their management in India and the question of how well watershed development programs internalize these concerns. A third impetus was the nexus between rural poverty and rainfed agriculture and the important role that watershed development programs are to fulfill in the development of sustainable rural livelihoods. 2014-06-11T22:01:51Z 2014-06-11T22:01:51Z 2014-03 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/03/19516968/watershed-development-india-approach-evolving-through-experience http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18636 English en_US Agriculture and environmental services discussion paper;no. 4 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper South Asia India
