3. Participatory Water and Land Use
Planning
Project Background and Location
Background :
Supported by the German Government through KfW.
Department of Water Resources (DWR) under MoNRE is
Project Executing Agency, MAF is Project Implementing
Agency
Duration: 2010-2017
Objectives:
Communities manage their natural resources more
effectively and sustainably
Farm households improve their farm and forestry
production
Multi-stakeholders Watershed Management Process is
established
4. 70Km northwest of VTE, upper
part belongs to Hin Herb District
(9 villages) and Lower part in
Sangthong District (34villages). ST
one of the 47 poorest District in
Lao PDR
5. Participatory Water and Land Use
Planning
Why PWLUP :
Based on PLUP, a planning method that is commonly
accepted in accepted
Added simple, water resources relevant planning tools
as part of the original PLUP methodology
6. Participatory Water and Land Use
Planning
Stage and IWRM Elements
Stage (PLUP Manual) IWRM Elements for PWLUP exercises
1 Preparation for land use Add water related to present preparation documents
planning
2 Socio-economic, land and forest Add water related data and water and related natural resources data
data collection
3 Delineation of village and village Locate where water resources are tapped or used
cluster boundaries
4 Village and village cluster land Consider adding water sources (surface water and groundwater),
use zoning riparian buffer zones, wetlands, Fishery conservation zones, spots of
possible pollution – draft a plan for water allocation
5 Village and village cluster land Associate water management plans – identify possible change in water
management plans use, possible change in water quality
6 Land data and digital map Add water related data collected in stage 2 and 3
record keeping
7 Land registration in rural Draft a plan for water allocation
villages
8 Village and village cluster Facilitate a “Villages and Kum Ban Watershed Network” as the place
networks and networking for water and land dialogue at that level.
9 Monitoring and evaluation Draft a land and water village monitoring and evaluation system
7. Participatory Water and Land Use
Planning
Definition of the concept
• Watershed Class 5: Gently sloping land and flat areas(0 _6 %).
Lowland Farming, paddy rice, other agricultural uses and forest
• Watershed Class 4: Gently sloping lands (6 –-15 %). Moderate need for
water and soil conservation. Wide range of land use options in
agriculture and forestry.
• Watershed Class 3 (15_-35 %): Agro Forestry Areas with moderate to
steep slopes and less erosive landforms. Used for commercial forest,
grazing and combinations of trees and agricultural crops.
• Watershed Class 2 (35-_45 %): Recommended land use: forest
(conservation and production forests), agro-forestry and grazing
• Watershed Class 1 (> 45 %): Protection Forest Areas, should be under
permanent forest cover.

Planning
Progress and on-going activities
The Land use/water management criteria has Defined and Drafted the
Agreement each village and The Planning could be linked with other sectors. (
PLUP VDP DSEDPWater development plan.)
Report are now been drafted, for Suanmone and Namthome and vangmar
village are nearly completed.
Information table content used and analyzed in this report (Data base:
Socio_Economic Data/Problem Analysis.) GIS,Map ….
About 38% of villagers in 4 Target Villages have secured land use rights and
about 61% of water and forest each village have protected.
PWLUP exercise was already conducted from Stage 1 to Stage 6 ( Stage 6
PLUP Data Record Keeping and Digital Mapping), and completed for 4 villages
in the target of yearly Plan.

Lessons Learnt
Basic of knowledge for extension Team Member on the Computer
skills and Map reading or working with Villager are limited.
Because of so many activities are carried out at the same time,
villagers get confused.
Wetland and Irrigation scheme have not been Identified. (to
introduce the discussion about possible area to conservation or
Irrigation intake and number….
Community Land Analyses table information and Current Land use/
Land cover map needed to be Analysis and puts it to report.
we have focused on the data base and GIS data which are then
reflected in the table and map. In order to consistent set of data for
each village that can be easily consolidated later.
Training needed for team Members for ST as well In each fiscal year
before starting the process.
To find solutions to protect the villages/villagers and natural
resources, through land Demarcations and registration after
PWLUP Exercise.
