Buol watershed (1753 km2) that approximately spans one third of Buol district in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia has undergone forest conversion to oil palm and mass settlements, threatening the provision of environmental services. The watershed routinely experienced hydrological problems i.e. drought during dry season; floods and landslide during rainy season. Therefore, restoration of watershed function is necessary Plans to restore watershed function requires supporting data, and when good hydrological data does not exist, we can use information from simple monitoring measured jointly with the local community. The monitoring methods can be more effective if done using participatory approach with the involvement of local community.
