Land ownership

The management of a catchment area is very much depending on the personal input and commitment of the land owners. Land ownership is quite often not regulated by laws and often not secured. Therefore, farmers might not be interested in managing land which they do not own by law, but they are interested in mining it. IWM requires for best management options land owner change in order to create larger pieces of land for better conservation, agriculture or reforestation; this is rather not possible without regulatory laws and assessment of the “land value”. Land ownership is crucial for sustainable implementation of IWM and needs special attention at.
