| Abstract: | The
Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh is
very rich in indigenous traditional knowledge in conserving natural resources.
The Yetbung Lingang and Linkum are such traditional water
conservation structures made up of locally available stones/ boulders, bamboo
and tokopata and used to divert the
perennial stream of the area for Panikheti
and winter crop cultivation. The people of the watersheds of East
Siang district have their traditional clarification for
construction of these types of structures. Rainfall evaporation pattern of the
study area also supports prolong crop growing season for widening arable land
under the watershed. Scientific rationale of the study confirms the
multifaceted advantages of such traditional practices. |
