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.

Environmental Education

It is not enough to collect water data for its own sake. Environmental Education is an appropriate outlet for locally-generated information through the CBWM approach. Environmental Education includes both formal and non-formal ways to raise community awareness of water issues and best practices for broad-based participation in watershed protection.
