The work in the catchments started in 2002 where one or two catchments were
selected in each district and after a year new catchments were selected and worked
upon. It was realized that working with micro watersheds yields low positive results
and also one year is not enough for a significant healing or rehabilitation process to
take place. Therefore in 2005, a decision was made to select bigger watersheds and
the rehabilitation program increased to three years in order to realize the impacts
