Small Watershed Hydrology Summary Proceedings of a Workshop on The Role of Small Watershed Hydrology in Rainfed griculture 22-24 November 1988

ICRISAT hosted a workshop on "The Role of Small Watershed Hydrology in Rainfed Agriculture" from 22-24 November 1988 at ICRISAT Center. Some 30 participants from research institutions in India and one from Thailand joined ICRI - SAT scientists in their deliberations. The workshop aimed at exploring linkages for collaborative research by reviewing past experience, and as a basis for a new research agenda. As the scientists represented wide experience on watershed hydrology, the discussions achieved a general perspective through exchanges of information and ideas. Presented in this volume are the welcome address, the recommendations of the workshop, and abstracts of the papers. The Indian Society of Dryland Agriculture is planning a special issue of its journal to incorporate many of the papers presented at the workshop. While man cannot control weather, he can cushion the impact of adverse weather conditions—manifested in drought and floods—on rainfed agriculture by learning to plan and manage his land and water resources more efficiently. ICRISAT hopes that this volume and the one proposed by the Indian Society of Dryland Agriculture will help us move forward
