Indian Water Organisation

The Watershed Organisation Trust (WOTR) was established in December 1993 as a support organization for Village Self Help Groups (VSHGs) and NGOs implementing watershed development projects. It assists people living in rural areas alleviate their poverty through participatory natural resource management on a watershed basis. WOTR was established primarily to respond to the needs expressed by partners in the lndo-German Watershed Development Programme (IGWDP).

WOTR assists NGOs/VSHGs by providing technical support in planning, project formulation, implementation, documentation, monitoring and evaluation of their watershed projects. WOTR initiates capacity building by supporting NGOs / VSHGs to undertake the planning, organization and implementation of a small micro watershed within the larger watershed. This becomes the forum for a reflective learning process for these implementing groups.
