Water and desertification On-site

• 60 control dispersed runoff
• 40 control concentrated runoff
• 60 increase infiltration
• Harvest water
• Reduce soil evaporation loss
• 88 increase soil moisture gt yields!

Soil productivity, human wellbeing, poverty

• Yield increase
• 39/42 of all cases
• Medium to high increase
• Crops 25/42 (60)
• Fodder 20/42
• Wood 8/42

Analysis of SWC approaches putting the
practices into place

Decision making on choice of technology for
project-based case studies
18
Conclusions and policy points support for
decision makers
Example of policy points SWC-technologies -
general In dry areas, investments in water
harvesting and improved water use efficiency,
combined with improved soil fertility management,
should be emphasised to increase production,
reduce the risk of crop failure, and lower the
demand for irrigation water.

• Example of policy points soil and water
  conservation approaches general
• More attention and support should be given to
  local innovation as well as to traditional
  systems, rather than focussing solely on
  project-based SWC implementation of standard
  technologies.
• Further efforts are needed to identify
  appropriate SWC technologies that assist
  small-scale and subsistence farmers to improve
  their livelihoods and escape from the poverty
  trap.
