The Economic Impact of Forest Hydrological Services on Local Communities: A Case Study from the Western Ghats of India
Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: November, 02 , 2008Building upon a larger research project at four sites in the Western Ghats
of peninsular India, this study examines the link between stream flow, agricultural water use and
economic returns to agriculture. The study attempts to simulate the likely impacts of regeneration
of a degraded forest catchment on stream flow and the consequent impact on irrigation tankbased
agriculture in a downstream village.
