Abstract
Final Report for activities undertaken by the partnership of US Forest Service International Programs (USFS IP), USAID, and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) to provide technical assistance for developing payments for watershed services (PWS) schemes in three landscapes: Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda, the Ruaha River Landscape in Tanzania, and the Luangwa Valley in Zambia. Technical assistance was supplied in modeling hydrological systems, and quantifying interactions among the land surface, land-use management and water quality/quantity to help understand the link between land-use and watershed services.
