KINGKANGU/TATALA INTEGRATED LAND AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
The main problem to be addressed by the Project is land degradation around natural water reservoirs and wetlands in Kinkangu and Tatala communities. The two communities lie within a four-kilometer stretch along a major annual stream. The nearest (Kinkangu) is approximately five (5) Kilometers from Bunkpurugu, the district capital. Tatala is nine (9) kilometers from Bunkpurugu. The people are predominantly peasant farmers?, dependant on the annual rains for the major crop cultivation activities. During the dry season, members of both communities engage in dry season vegetable production using water from natural water reservoirs. It is the improper ways in which they carry out these activities that now threaten the very source of their livelihood. This degradation has affected the watersheds and the ecologically important wetlands. With the steady deterioration of the watersheds, less water is now available for dry season gardening, which is a very important income generating activity
