CHAPTER -7 PERSPECTIVE NEED FOR PERSPECTIVE PLAN The Himalayan watersheds are under constant threat of mass wasting and erosion caused by depletion of forest cover, unscientific agronomic practices and hydrologic imbalances. The ever increasing population, the need to provide a better quality of life to the people and the pressure on natural resources is further compounding the problem. The total of 7.66 lakh ha. cultivated area in the State 4.21 lakh ha. area is rainfed. An insight into the rainfed regions reveals a grim picture of poverty, water scarcity, rapid depletion of ground water table and fragile ecosystem. Land degradation due to soil erosion by wind and water, low rainwater use efficiency, high population pressure, acute fodder shortage, poor livestock productivity, under investment in water use efficiency, lack of assured and remunerative marketing opportunities and poor infrastructure are important concerns of enabling policies. The challenge in rainfed areas, therefore, is to improve rural livelihoods through participatory watershed development with focus on integrated farming system for enhancing income, productivity and livelihood security in a sustainable manner. A number of watershed management projects are being executed in the state under different schemes; the Micro watersheds where these schemes are being implemented have been selected more on the grounds of suitability of working areas to the Project Implementing Agency (PIA) than on the basis of any priority made in an objective manner. For overall integrated development in the state, it is important to implement development activities in the untreated MWS on the basis of priority made in an objective manner. The criteria of selection of MWS to be taken up under the Common Guidelines were as follows:-
