The Model for CBWM

CBWM is a participatory process of linking a community group to appropriate technologies for understanding, protecting and managing their watershed.  Each monitoring program should be adapted to the unique biophysical, social and political features of a region.

Advocacy

It is not enough to collect water data for its own sake. Advocacy is another outlet for locally-generated information obtained through CBWM. Through Advocacy, citizens may influence decision-makers at all levels of society to establish policies and laws that protect watersheds and foster civic education and involvement.
