SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF WATERSHEDS IN THE LOWER MEKONG BASIN- NAMTON(SUMALOM-NAMTON)
11 June 2012
JRP Training - MRC
Project History
2007: general agreement (KfW, GTZ, LNMC, MRC)
2007: Feasibility study
2009: Appraisal mission and revision of project set up
TC partner project completed in May 2011 and shifted to neighboring Nam Song Watershed --- Lao Priority basin
09/2010: Project start ( Inception Phase: 10/2010-03/2011)
Project Information
Supported by the German Government (BMZ) through KfW. DWR under MoNRE is Project Executing Agency and DoP under MAF is Project Implementing Agency.
Objective: Communities manage their natural resources
more effectively and sustainably Farm households improve their farm and
forestry production
Pilot site for IWRM Sub-Basin Implementation in Lao PDR
Project Information
Target Groups: Population in the Nam Ton Watershed Govt. officials and local authorities of district and
provincial levels
Project Duration:
7 years: 2010-17 ( including inception phase)
Budget (€): Lao Con. Ger Con. Total
Project part I 505,511.- 4,612,9195,116,430
Project Part II / 500,000 500,000
Total 503,511.- 5,112,919 5,616,430
Project Area
70Km northwest of VTE, upper part belongs to HH District (9 villages) and Lower part in ST District (34villages). ST one of the 47 poorest District in Lao PDR
Major Land Use in the Project Area
Rain-fed and Irrigation agricult. and garden
14% (10,350 ha)
Forest Cover ( incl. dense, degraded, forest mosaic, plantation
29% (22,715ha)
Fallow land (incl. shifting cultivation & shrub-land, pasture/livestock
53% (42,185 ha)
Urban Areas 1 % (900 ha)
Water bodies 2% (1,750 ha)
Total area is 80,000 ha
Existing Farming System
Rain-fed lowland paddy farming system:
found in middle and lower reaches of the area. This system intensively applied fertilizer and pesticides ---influencing water quality of Nam Ton River
Upland rice (shifting cultivation):
Mainly practiced by poor ethnic families, causing erosion and reduced infiltration on the watershed, leading to increased sedimentation.
Project Outputs
PP1: covers all project measures within the project area and is carried out by the GoL and local population
Output 1: Communities are assisted to establish and execute sustainable village based land use planning
Output 2: Farmers are supported to use appropriate farming systems
Output 4: (new) Multi-stakeholders Watershed Management Process is established
Project Activities
Activities under Output 1: NRM
Watershed and village development planning Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP) Registration of land certificate for household and
communities (both agricultural and forest land) Natural resource management and management
of Protected Areas Support to Kum Ban Centres
Project Activities
Activities under Output 2: Farming System
Capacity building on district and farmers’ level Irrigation systems and paddy development Rangeland management Aquatic resource management Tree plantation development Micro-finance system for small-scale productive
investments
Project Activities
Activities under Output 4: IWRM
Mainstreaming water as a natural resource by merging land and water use planning
Support water quality & quantity monitoring Support process for multi-stakeholder watershed
management (establishing and consolidating of a Watershed Committee)
Support Watershed Knowledge (Basin Profile)
Project Structure
Note: Watershed Committee/River Basin Committee is proposed

Focal area for WSM
About 90% of the base flow originates from the upper North-Western parts of the watershed.
This is the focal intervention area for watershed management activities, including afforestation, irrigation, etc.
Watershed Sensitive Participatory Land Use Planning Stage (PLUP Manual) IWRM Planning elements for PLUP exercises
1 Preparation for land use planning
Add water related to present preparation documents
2 Socio-economic, land and forest data collection
Add water related data and water and related natural resources data
3 Delineation of village and village cluster boundaries
Locate where water resources are tapped or used
4 Village and village cluster land use zoning
Consider adding water sources (surface water and groundwater), riparian buffer zones, wetlands, Fishery conservation zones, spots of possible pollution – draft a plan for water allocation
5 Village and village cluster land management plans
Associate water management plans – identify possible change in water use, possible change in water quality
6 Land data and digital map record keeping
Add water related data collected in stage 2 and 3
7 Land registration in rural villages
Draft a plan for water allocation
8 Village and village cluster networks and networking
Facilitate a “Villages and Kum Ban Watershed Network” as the place for water and land dialogue at that level.
9 Monitoring and evaluation
Draft a land and water village monitoring and evaluation system
Afforestation
Introduce farming system integration by promoting on-farm tree plantation establishment and management
Encourage individual farmers to target degraded forest and to improve their livelihood
Areas of concern include deforested and unproductive uplands which are currently mainly covered by fallow and shrub land
Total planned area for afforestation is 1,000 ha
Intervention Approach base on slope level
< 5% Lowland intervention: rain-fed & irrigation paddy, cash crops, aquaculture, fruit tree plantation, forest management
6-36% upland intervention without soil conservation: upland agri. & forestry, integrating faming, pasture , fruit tree/ timber plantation and Forest Manag.
37-45% upland intervention with soil conservation: timber tree plantation, integrating farming, appropriate conservation measures to be applied
> 45% Forest conversation
Irrigation and Paddy Development
Irrigation schemes in areas where shifting cultivation is practiced
Targeting areas critical for watershed functions in the upper part of the watershed
More than 350 ha for 200 HH to be benefitted by irrigation and paddy development,
Extension Service
Farming systems development is implemented through a training and extension package for smallholders and extension staff
Capacities and knowledge of staff and farmers in upland farming systems development are improved by in-country study trips, farmer-to-farmer
Technical Kum ban centres (3) are key locations for district staff to learn and exchange their skills and knowledge before disseminating them to villagers
