根据哪些标准和/或指标（与战略无关），在确定建议的实践和相应的技术是否被认为是“最佳”时，应该基于哪些标准和/或指标（与战略无关）？

1. Several approaches and instruments developed by WOTR (Such as Participatory Net Planning (PNP) for planning technical aspects of watershed, capacity building, multi-stakeholder partnerships) have been adopted in state and national watershed development projects.
2. Permission to treat degraded forest land was obtained by WOTR for the Indo-German Watershed Development Program (IGWDP). This was a singular achievement as such lands come under the purview of the Forest Conservation Act, which is a very strict Act.|

本技术的简要说明和技术规范

Wasundhara Approach
Watershed Development is the basis of this approach. It is simple Ridge-To-Valley approach that changes lives by reshaping landscapes and combating social injustices. The poorest people hold land on the ridges, where the land is the worst because it fails to collect water. We believe it is most just to uplift them first, and then move down toward the people in the valley who need help less urgently.|

对于上面列出的利益相关者，说明他们在该技术的设计、引入、使用和维护（如果有的话）中的角色。

1. Local Village Development Committee: (Satteaai Village Watershed Committee) is the main actor and implementer of the project. The President and the members of the Village Watershed Committee were responsible for planning, implementation, supervision, monitoring and quality control of the project. The VDC was responsible for the organizing monthly regular meetings, community mobilization, conflict resolution within the village, and smooth implementation of the village developmental activities.
2. WOTR: facilitated the capacity building and implementation process by providing trainings and helping to mobilize the community. The technical and social mobilization support was provided by WOTR staff.
3. Agricultural Department: supported for the crop demonstrations by supplying new improved seeds and fertilizers.
4. Soil Conservation Department: constructed earthen dams and Continuous Contour Trenches for plantation on the waste lands.
5. Forest Department: The entire forest land of Sattechiwadi village was treated with various treatments (CCT, gully plugs, earthen plugs, reforestation, grass seeding, stone bunds etc.) under the supervision and technical guidance of
the forest department. The up lands belonging to the forest department were treated as per the ridge to valley principal by the Forest Protection Committee with the coordinated efforts with the forest department. The land treatment and plantation is being cared and maintained by the VDC and FPC. The ban on free grazing is observed by the village community. The VDC is responsible for the non- free grazing in the forest area.

是

具体说明:

The entire village community was involved in the implementation of the project. Entire labor work was carried out by the village community. The land owned households contributed equivalent to 20% cost of the project in the form of free labor. Major decisions of the project were taken by Gramshabhas.

描述现场影响（按类别划分的两类主要影响）

Grass fodder which was available only for six months earlier, now is available throughout the year.|
Land Use and Agriculture:
Waste land has decreased by 82 % in post-project period.
Previously only 2 ha of land was perennially irrigated, which has gone up to 45 ha.Overall land use has increased by 85 %.|
Water Availability:
Before this project, all the wells were seasonal; now 18 of them have water available till end of June the next year. Water from Nallahs can be used till January, which otherwise used to go dry immediately after rainy season was over. Water tables have increased.|
Increase in per acre production (Quintals) of pearl millet and wheat from 5-6 Bags to 14-15 Bags.
Fuel wood, dung cake and kerosene were earlier used for lighting and cooking purposes and in order to meet this need trees had to be cut down but as a result of women’s initiative, All the households have solar lamps and 56 hot water Chula.|
Wasundhara approach created the necessary dynamics and incentives to the VDC, the Samyukta Mahila Samiti and the Panchayati Raj Institutions  to demonstrate a positive discrimination in the favor of the disadvantaged. Village Development Committee gives special attention to its poor.  |

描述两个主要的场外影响（即不是发生在现场，而是发生在周围区域）

Convergence approach which was adopted for integrated village development and demonstrated successfully in Sattechiwadi village is now being spread to other WOTR project areas in its Climate Change Adaptation project.
The Wasundhara Approach has been adopted by WOTR in its all project areas which amount 357project, covering more than 243210 ha areas. Also ridge to valley approach as demonstrated by WOTR has been adopted by NABARD and Government of Maharashtra for their project areas.|

对生物多样性和气候变化的影响

解释原因:

1. Hot Water Chullahs (cooking stoves) used for cooking reduce fuel wood consumption by 50%, thus helps reducing carbon emissions and preserving carbon sinks.
2. WOTR works for mitigation through promotion practices. All efforts taken in Sattechiwadi leads to secure livelihoods of the community which are more climate resilient. The plantation work leads to mitigation.
3. Planted trees on the agricultural bunds have added into the biodiversity of the region. These trees also act as perching sites for the natural pest control-the birds. Controlled grazing has helped strengthening soil base. Providing livelihood options has minimized pressure on the surrounding ecosystem. Minimizing chemical fertilizers and more use of organic|

您能否确定目前最佳实践/技术成功的三个主要条件？

Addressing the issue of equitable distribution of benefits and involving community to distribute benefits to the poorest of the poor. And it is village’s better off who need to take concrete steps towards it.
Village envisioning helped villagers to see their future and design their own path for development of their village.
The local participation the key and hence awareness building and motivation is the only way out and hence best practice(s) mentioned above can be replicated if this is taken care of.
Wasundhara approach that led to local initiative to take up the activities. Participative nature of all the activities ensured the community’s continuous support throughout the project period and after the completion of the project also.

人力资源相关

Along with the watershed development a lot of other measures were taken to nourish the human capital, one of them being women’s promotion, under which five Self Help Groups (SHGs) were formed. These groups act as forum of developmental and income generating activities for the women of the village. The apex body of such SHGs is known as Samyukta Mahila Samiti.|The members of the SHGs and SMS underwent a lot of trainings and awareness programs in aspects like concept of Self Help, roles and responsibilities of managing SHGs, social development activities, health and education for children etc. |The direct impact of empowered women is visible now. Almost every kid in Sattechiwadi goes to school, men don’t drink inordinately anymore and women are open enough to be a part of the discussions in Village Development Committee’s meetings and in the normal course of life.

与技术方面有关

1. A systematic ridge to valley approach for watershed development is essential.
2. A detailed Participatory Net Planning is important because all structures that need to be put have to be site specific. If it’s not done with people nothing can be achieved.
