AB As development and population increase efficient use and management of water in mountain watersheds is of growing concern in Asia. The work presented in this article applied hydro-meteorological monitoring and participatory action research on water availability to improve water management in Xizhuang watershed in Yunnan Province China. With an area of 34.56 km2 and a population of 4501  Xizhuang watershed is typical of the watersheds in the middle mountains that feed the Salween River. Although this catchment provides plentiful water (rainfall and runoff) the temporal and spatial distribution of this supply is uneven. Together with uneven distribution major issues include water shortages for irrigation domestic use and livestock; poor water quality; and conflicts among different stakeholders. To improve sustainable use and conservation this paper suggests developing integrated water resource management and water harvest technology
