Integrated watershed development interventions strengthens rural livelihood through improved eco-system services in any region and particular in drought prone areas. Trees under traditional agroforestry system improve the ecosystem services as compared to sole agriculture in watershed. An ecosystem is generally accepted to be an interacting system of biota and its associated physical environment (NAS, 2004). They are complex however, making the translation from ecosystem structure and function to ecosystem goods and services (i.e., the ecological production function) is difficult. Ecological life-support systems are constantly depleted due to society’s ever-mounting demand for natural capital (MA, 2005).
