2. SLM方法的描述

2.1 该方法的简要说明

Optimising rainwater use, reduce runoff by use of basins and reduce evaporation losses by applying a mulch (stone/reeds) on the runoff strip and in the basins.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Aims / objectives: Given the marginal soils of a clayey nature and/or slope terrain, coupled with erratic rainfall events, the technology aims to harvest available rain water and prevent runoff and soil loss. At present, PRAs are conducted in target areas and so far, people are eager to adopt the technology. The aim is to train them and assist in constructing the basins so that after a year they will be able to take over the project entirely even though the team will still be around to provide advice should the need arise.

2.7 方法的类型

  • 基于项目/方案

2.8 该方法的主要目的/目标

The Approach focused on SLM only (n/a)

*To make optimal use of pre-plant water that collects in basins from summer rains that fall during the fallow period. Saved water very beneficial during the reproductive growth of plants which often occurs when there is no rain.
*Prevention of soil and water loss through water erosion and runoff by the use of basins.
*Restriction of evaporation by the use of mulch. Straw is mostly preferred for its biodegradability although stone in comparative percentage cover is more effective.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: The target areas are marginal for crop production because of relatively low and erratic rainfall and dominantly clay soils on which the precipitation use efficiency is low because of high losses due to runoff and evaporation form the soul surface.

2.9 推动或妨碍实施本办法所适用的技术的条件

社会/文化/宗教规范和价值观
  • 阻碍

People are resistant to change. Had to convince that they can get better yields with new technique.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Interacting with people as much as possible and comparing yields on farmers days after harvest.

财务资源和服务的可用性/可得性
  • 阻碍

Most can't afford inputs and to hire labour for construction of basins.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Team will ask for discounts from providers and encourage team work amongst community.

法律框架(土地使用权、土地和水使用权)
  • 启动

The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights greatly helped the approach implementation: Land owners have little deeds and no law inhibits them from actively participating in the project.

  • 仅限SLM专家
解释:

land user driven (bottom-up). Realisation of poverty.

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by land users supported by SLM specialists. land user driven (bottom-up). The need of land users to alleviate poverty.

4. 技术支持、能力建设和知识管理

4.1 能力建设/培训

是否为土地使用者/其他利益相关者提供培训?:

明确受训人员:
  • 土地使用者
  • extensionists/trainers
培训形式:
  • 示范区域
  • 公开会议
涵盖的主题:

Construction of basins; better understanding of the system in simple terms; the concept of infiltration, evapotranspiration; erosion and runoff.

4.2 咨询服务

土地使用者有权使用咨询服务吗?:

指明是否提供了咨询服务:
  • 在固定中心
说明/注释:

NDA Extension; Key elements: Assistance in technology transfer, Organising public meetings, Establishing & link between specialists and land users;
1) Advisory service was carried out through: government's existing extension system. Extension staff: mainly government employees
2) Target groups for extension: land users; Activities: Technology transfer

Advisory service is quite adequate to ensure the continuation of land conservation activities; With a little persuasion, they assist completely.

4.3 机构强化(组织发展)

是否通过这种方法建立或加强了机构?:
  • 是,少许
具体说明机构的强化或建立程度:
  • 本地

4.4 监测和评估

监测和评估是该方法的一部分吗?:

注释:

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored through measurements
socio-cultural aspects were None monitored through measurements
economic / production aspects were None monitored through measurements
There were few changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: An organic mulch can be placed in the basins and on the runoff strip to stop evaporation losses. However cattle are allowed to graze in the land after the crop has been harvested. There after there is almost no organic mulch left to cover the soil surface. Stones were then suggested as an alternative mulch.

6.4 该方法的长处/优点

土地使用者眼中的长处/优势/机会
Produced higher yields.
编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会
Success of the WHB technique depends on suppressing water losses by runoff (R) and evaporation from the soil surface (Es). Measurements show that R has been reduced to zero and that Es has been reduced considerable, but still remains a serious avenue for water loss. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Future experimentation needs to focus on suppressing Es by any possible means.)
The WHB treatment gives considerably better yields than the conventional treatment. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Results from more seasons are needed to quantify the extent of this difference in a reliable way.)
Save on cultivation costs since no-till is employed.
The WHB technique is ell suited for use on very small pots, and even in townships. Many people in semi-arid areas could be usefully employed if this technique was widely adapted, and food security could be increased at the same time. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Extension work in this connection by the PSDA needs to be encourage.)
Soil loss from the land as a whole is zero. This is an important advantage over the conventional tillage in terms of sustainability.

6.5 该方法的弱点/缺点以及克服它们的方法

土地使用者认为的弱点/缺点/风险 如何克服它们?
It is labour intensive to initially construct the basins, by hand.
编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的弱点/缺点/风险 如何克服它们?
There is some soil movement form the runoff area into the basins, ad basins may silt up over time.
Huge storms may overflow and break basin walls; and basins may need some maintenance.
In the case of small rainfall events all the water may not reach the basins.
Organic mulch may act as a sponge and absorb some of the rainwater.
