The review reveals watershed management research as an interdisciplinary effort at multiple scales within a long-term movement towards informed participatory decision-making. Watersheds, together with aquifers, are the most important units for data collection and modeling in water management. Common property resources (CPRs) are of central importance, especially for low-income inhabitants. The exclusion of women from decision-making is a barrier to proper management as women often have the best understanding of CPR interrelations and management practices. The review covers projects in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru; and Bhutan, Cambodia, People’s Republic of China, India, Lao PDR, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Sri Lanka.
