Local resolution for watershed management: the case of water and land allocation of Cotacachi, Ecuador

Abstract:

Various environmental trade-offs arise in the Cotacachi watershed, located in the Andes Mountains north of Quito, Ecuador. Of particular concern to the local population are the declining quality and diminished reliability of water supplies for household and agricultural uses resulting from deforestation, poor pasture management, and related problems in the upper reaches of the drainage basin.
