The identification of appropriate mitigation and intervention techniques on the basis of the Environment Assessment is crucial for the implementation of a successful Watershed Action Plan in order to achieve a sustainable use of the catchment area and thus the MHP project. Biophysical as well as political mitigation and intervention techniques are listed in the table below:
BIOPHYSICAL MEASURES | POLITICAL MEASURES |
Gully control | Education and training |
Terracing | Income generating measurements |
Agroforestry | Participatory approach |
Reforestation | |
Revegetation | |
Cultivation along contour lines | |
Protection of springs and wetlands | |
Water harvesting | |
Crop rotation |

Terracing in the Gobecho catchment (Ethiopia) | Gully control near Ambo (Ethiopia) |
Box 1 shows three examples of how (rather simple) interventions can improve the environmental condition of the catchment. A more detailed list of mitigation and intervention techniques and the respective application can be found in DESTA, L. ET AL. (2005): Part 1: Community Based Participatory Watershed Development. Addis Ababa: Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, pages 69 – 165 and DESTA, L. ET AL. (2005): Part 2: Community Based Participatory Watershed Development: Annex. Addis Ababa: Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, pages 43 - 48.
