Abstract

This study generally assessed the traditional watershed management system in southeast, Nigeria. Specifically, it analysed the status of watersheds in southeast, Nigeria, described farm practices in the watersheds, identified stakeholders in the traditional watershed management system, their role effectiveness.

Examined traditional watershed management rules and regulations, ascertained economic/livelihood activities of watershed dwellers and determine factors militating against watershed management in the southeast.

Three rivers/watersheds (Asu, Mamu and Imo) were purposively selected which covered the five states in the southeast geopolitical zone. Three town communities were also purposively selected from each watershed based on their nearness to the watersheds.

Two villages/hamlets were selected from each community and 50% of heads of households was proportionately selected from the list compiled from the selected villages giving a total sample size of 412 respondents for study. Participant observation, key informant interview and interview of heads of households were used for data collection.

Introduction

Water is life. This simple statement according to Donkor (2003) embodies the critical role water plays to individuals, families, communities, nations and regions. Water has provided nourishment, an environment for healthy populations and the basis of agriculture and industry.

He further stated that history is replete with civilizations that have risen on the banks of ancient rivers such as the Tigris and Euphrates, the Nile, the Niger, the Zambezi and many more. According to Low External Input and Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA) (2006), water is one of the most important of all natural resources and an essential resource for all life.

Growing populations, rapid urbanization and increasing industrial and agricultural production are all increasing competition for and pressure on this precious and finite resource. Similarly, Sherbinin (1997) stressed that water is vital for all living organisms and major ecosystems as well as for human health, food production and economic development.

Aquatic ecosystems support highly productive fisheries, plant communities, woodlands and agro-pastoral systems. These wetlands also, directly and indirectly, support large human populations. For the millions of people worldwide who depend on or benefit from wetland resources, providing water for the environment and for people is one and the same.
