Collaborative Watershed Management for Enhancing Watershed Function: A Case From Buol Watershed, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia

Export citation

Buol watershed (1753 km2) spans one third of Buol district in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Forest conversion to oil palm and mass settlements, threatened the provision of environmental services. The people living in the watershed routinely experience hydrological problems i.e. drought during dry season; floods and landslide during rainy season. Lack of community understanding and awareness about watershed function is one of the cause of those problems. Furthermore, the data availability that can beused to support watershed management became another challenge.
