People's Landscape Approach In the past, communities' people have their access and control over their resources within their or nearby watershed in ad hoc basis. The concept of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) emerged and applied to minimize challenges to increase access and control over resources to local communities. It is also believed that bottom up planning approach of resource management was somehow practiced by application of IWRM. However, it has not been able to  understand complex relationship between human and resources available including economic, social, cultural and spiritual aspects in the watershed/landscape.  Realizing the changing complex relations of human and natural resources, the study conducted on current and past projects implemented by Oxfam indicated the need  to broaden its current approach and move beyond its combined approach of technical production support and advocacy for water and rights. Oxfam in Nepal and its partners (Community Self Relience Centre (CSRC), Local Initiatives for Biodiversity, Research and Development (LIBIRD) , Nepal Environment and Education Development Society (NEEDS)  and International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD ) and Oxfam Novib team with the support of Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation (WCDI) developed People's Landscape Approach (PLA) Framework. The framework provides new opportunities to conceptualize the complex relations between humans and nature, calling for more integrated forms of conservation and natural resources management, with the aim to reconcile conservation and development objectives within a single space.  In the fiscal year 2022 -2023, Oxfam in Nepal and its partners have planned to pilot the PLA framework in Khalla Mussiti and Rangoon watersheds (landscape ) of Mahakali River basin in Kanchanpur and Dadeldhura districts of Nepal respectively.

WASH Innovation Nepal A model of multiple use system (MUS) and integrated water resource management (IWRM) will be demonstrated during implementation of the project. Around 8.7 KW of hydro electricity will be generated and will provide electricity to 25 households of Jayathala village using available head of 135 m and 11 lps of water from Kachulighad, a perennial stream.  The intake and canal of the existing irrigation system will be upgraded for additional discharge of 11 lps, required for hydro plant. Fore bay (for sedimentation), turbine house and transmission line will be constructed. The generated electricity will be distributed to the individual household. 350 watt will be allocated for individual house. Efficient lighting techniques will be used like CFL and LED. In the present context, 50 watt is sufficient for the lighting in a house. Remaining 300 watts (for each household) will be used for cooking and other available electronic appliances. To reduce the deforestation, project will support the electric cooking stoves to each household. The behavioural change on shifting firewood to the electrical appliances for cooking will be monitor closely. Further, the electrical appliance (cooking stoves) will provide opportunity for boiling the drinking water.    This Mini hydro will create ample opportunities in the village like small size workshops, small mills etc to flourish, and dryer (agricultural production) and promote end use of the energy generated (especially of day time). This will certainly create better employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.
