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.

Protection and Restoration

It is not enough to collect water data for its own sake.  Protection and Restoration of the Environmental is also an appropriate outlet for locally-generated information through the CBWM approach. This means finding practical ways to initiate improved land and water use and correct existing problems.
