- W248451051 abstract "For people who live in an economy built on ‘natural capital’, which can also be described as a ‘biomass-based economy’, ecological poverty is invariably the main cause of their impoverishment and an inability to meet their basic survival needs. Ecological poverty is the lack of natural resources, both in quantity and quality, that are needed to sustain a productive and sustainable biomass-based economy. Lack of water resulting from an anthropogenic change in the local hydrological regime is usually the main trigger for the processes of ecological degradation and, therefore, improved management of the local water resources has often proved to be the countertrigger for poverty alleviation through ecorestoration activities which, in turn, result in the regeneration of a biomass-based economy. Management of the local hydrological resources is invariably a cooperative, community-based activity. The paper presents four case studies from India in which rainwater harvesting has lead to both ecorestoration and poverty alleviation. Each case study shows that activities to manage local hydrological resources must be preceded by measures to mobilise local communities and create community institutions that can bring the community-members to act together in an egalitarian and cooperative manner so that the benefits of the new natural resources created are equitably shared and community-confidence engendered and strengthened. The role of the external agency, the state or an NGO, is to empower the community with financial resources needed for capital investment in ecorestoration structures and to ensure that laws governing land, water and forest resources do not obstruct the community effort." @default.
