A guide for selecting the right soil and water conservation practices for small holder farming in Africa

A major requirement in watershed management is establishing soil and water conservation technologies. Many of these have existed over a long time, but information to support selection of those that are appropriate for ecological and socio-economic conditions, has not been readily available to farmers and field officers. This technical manual presents a compilation of twenty technologies that have potential for watershed management within the tropical landscape especially in Africa. It presents simple descriptions of the technologies and instruction for establishing them, where they are appropriate and potential costs. A summary at the end supports users to decide on technologies that are appropriate for their conditions.
