Global in-situ project (1997-2006) has developed many good practices for agrobiodiversity management which are published in On-farm Management of Agricultural Biodiversity in Nepal: Good Practices 2006 (B Sthapit, P Shrestha and M Upadyay, eds). A good practice is a process or methodology or action that is effective and successful; environmentally, economically and socially sustainable; technically feasible; inherently participatory; replicable and adaptable, that has been proven to work well and produce good results. It is a successful experience tested and validated in achieving its objective. For further widening the scope of good practices in the country, NAGRC, LI-BIRD and Bioversity International have generated, tested and adapted a number of good practices in four sites, Jungu, Dolakha; Ghapanpokhara, Lamjung; Hanku, Jumla; and Chippra, Humla through a project Integrating Traditional Crop Genetic Diversity into Technology: Using a Biodiversity Portfolio Approach to Buffer against Unpredictable Environmental Change in the Nepal Himalayas , commonly called as Local Crop Project (LCP) from 2014 to 2019. Good practices listed here are well tested and adapted by the communtiies in the fields, shown their positive impact, shared and discussed among the relevant stakholders. Project team have tested and validated many good practices, however, we have included 22 good practices that are worth sharing for its dessimination and mainstreaming. These practices, though specially based on eight crops (rice, bean, barley, foxtail millet, proso millet, amaranth and buckwheat), can be widely applicable to other agricultural genetic ressources in different locations, national and globally.</div></div><div class="metadata-field field-pdf-url"><h2 class="label-above">Download</h2><ul><li><a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/rest/rest/bitstreams/60458a1d-83e2-4063-837f-bfc3c682564e/retrieve" target="_blank" absolute="1">Download PDF</a></li></ul></div><div class="field-citation metadata-field"><h2 class="label-above">Citation</h2><div class="field-content">Joshi, B.K.; Gauchan, D.; Bhandari, B.; Jarvis, D.

In more recent times, groundwater is the preferred means of supplying water to meet the growing demand of the rural, dispersed communities and the small urban towns across SSA. It is estimated that about 100 million of the rural population throughout SSA areserviced by groundwater for domestic supplies and livestock rearing (Adelana and MacDonald, 2008), with most of the villages and small towns having access to groundwater supplies (Masiyandima and Giordano, 2007).</div></div><div class="metadata-field field-pdf-url"><h2 class="label-above">Download</h2><ul><li><a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/rest/rest/bitstreams/a587423c-3623-4071-8e8e-019226372fa1/retrieve" target="_blank" absolute="1">Download PDF</a></li></ul></div><div class="field-citation metadata-field"><h2 class="label-above">Citation</h2><div class="field-content">Pavelic P, Giordano M, Keraita B, Ramesh V, Rao T, eds. 2012.
