The objective of this project is to assist the developing countries in dry areas to manage their land resources, while achieving sustainable utilization of water and biodiversity resources contained therein. Integrated management of natural resources and developing multidisciplinary approaches is the key to achieving these objectives. The project functions as a network of researchers and institutions working together through project activities and research programmes. UNESCO and ICARDA are key partners.

A subcomponent of the project focuses on traditional water management technologies, particularly at the community level.
