Upstream-Downstream Strategies for Flood Control

Forest management strategies that give pressure on watershed functions obviously can not be released to the effort setting the upstream and downstream relationships in a fair, transparent and accountable. So far upstream is always positioned as the party who sacrificed, for example in the case of construction of dams for irrigation purposes and power development, land conservation costs are borne by society only upstream, low self worth from a variety of upstream products and so forth. While many downstream of a position as a party who wins, because it is free to receive a variety of environmental services from upstream, either in the form of clean water, electricity, irrigation flow and mineral wealth.
