This report published by the Asia Development Bank includes a case study that attempts to understand the potential of watershed development in addressing the issues of poverty alleviation. The important issues in this regard include:

• Assessing the linkages between watershed development and rural livelihoods & poverty,
• Type and nature of benefit flows accruing to various sections of the community
• Challenges in making the watershed programme pro-poor and sustaining it in the long run.
