Mapping the Hydrological Processes in a Community-reconfigured River Basin Some Conceptual Issues and Results from a Simple Dry Run 50 2 0 1 2

This highlight presents some early results from an attempt to quantify the hydrological impact of AKRSP’s water harvesting work in the Meghal river basin. In the process, we discuss new ways of combining data from multiple sources to study the impact of decentralized water harvesting at the river basin scale. Faced with absence of good quality data from formal sources, we make a case for using the vibrant and well-developed observant hydrology to supplement the increasingly accessible public domain data and some primary data collected through relatively simple techniques using local NGOs and students.
