Abstract:
Rapid hydrological appraisal (RHA) diagnoses the hydrological situation of a landscape and
perceptions and ecological knowledge of its important stakeholders: local, general public and
scientific domains. These perceptions and knowledge include information concerning trade-offs
between local decisions on land-use practices that influence watershed functions, types of local
institutions that can increase effective management of the watershed, and social relationships
among stakeholders. The RHA enables an appraisal of the opportunities for negotiating land-use
agreements that include rewards for protecting and rehabilitating watershed functions.
