Watershed management contributions to land stewardship: A literature review

Abstract

An international conference to increase people's awareness of the contributions that watershed management can make to future land stewardship was held in Tucson, Arizona, March 13-16, 2000. This bibliography is a compilation of the synthesis and poster papers presented at the conference along with the literature cited in these papers on watershed research projects, applied watershed management activities, and technology transfer mechanisms. This publication furnishes a literature basis for researchers, managers, decision-makers, educators, students, and lay persons with a keen interest in watershed management and better land stewardship in the future. The proceedings from this conference, entitled "Land Stewardship in the 21st Century: The Contributions of Watershed Management," may be found on the Rocky Mountain Research Station's World Wide Web pages at www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/stewardship.html.

Assessment of Air Bengkulu (Indonesia) watershed based on agroecosystem landscape quality and sustainable land use plan

“…Some agricultural land uses and other functions, geo-morphological landscapes, biotic, physical infrastructures, social facilities, and human activities in watershed environmental systems interact one to other and/or together to form dynamic ecosystem stabilities. Processes of structuring and managing lands, abiotic resources of water, land, and other natural resources used in a watershed through integrated watershed management were to promote the high quantity and sustainability of goods and services and at the same time could mitigate the impact on mismanagement of the soil and watershed resources (Baker et al 2000). Watershed management with integrated systems was developed was as the fundamental principles for watershed management to harmonize diverse social, technical, and institutional interests, in tune with conservation, social, and economic purposes (German et al 2007).…”
