AQZ has worked with communities in watershed management activities. This included assessment of the status of the biophysical, socioeconomic and institutional dimensions around the given watershed. After identifying challenges, watershed management plans would be done and implemented to manage/rehabilitate the landscape. While some activities are environmental protection related, focus is put more on activities that impact on the livelihoods of the communities. Interventions such as those for soil and water conservation which include terracing, contours, check dams, gulley reclamation and management, tree plantation among others have been implemented.
