我们分析了印度喀拉拉邦 Kumbadaje panchayat 跨季节性溪流建设和管理临时检查坝的传统社区举措。这是一个相当成功的系统，在研究领域运行了数十年。拦河坝克服了夏季灌溉季节农民面临的缺水问题，从而在农业中发挥着至关重要的作用。我们确定了拦河坝管理中的问题，指出这种传统的集水和节水系统如何适应当地的地理条件，并需要维持和推广。
We analyze traditional community initiatives in building and managing temporary check-dams across seasonal streams in Kumbadaje panchayat in the state of Kerala in India. This is a fairly successful system, functioning for decades in the study area. Check-dams overcome water scarcity faced by farmers during the summer irrigation season and thereby play a crucial role in farming. We identify issues in the management of check-dams, noting how this traditional water harvesting and conservation system suits the local geographic conditions and needs to be sustained and promoted.
