METHODS 2.1 Study area The Phewa lake watershed area is located in the south-west corner of the Pokhara valley (28°7 N to 28712/N latitude and 84^5^E to 84°10" E Longitude) which lies on a relative subsidence zone between the greater Himalaya and Mahabharat range. This watershed is spread fully or partially of six VDCs (Sarangkot, KaskiKot, Dhikurpokhari, Bhadaure Tamagi, Chapakot and Pumdi Bhumdi) and the southwestern part of the Pokhara sub- metropolitan city of Kaski district. It covers an area of Approximately 123 km? and the length and width of the east-west oriented watershed is about 17 and 7 Km respectively. The surface area of the Phewa Lake is 4.43 km^ and depth from 8.6m to 19 m. The watershed height varies from lower part from sea level 793m to the upper part 2508m. The mean annual rainfall in the study area for the past 10 years from 2001 to 2010 is 4325.75mm. More than 80% of the annual rainfall occurs during the monsoon season in the months of June to September. The months from October through May are generally very dry season. The study area is the representation of the hill region of Nepal The study area has the scattered settlement with different casts. 2.2 Survey methods Socio economic data were obtained from the village profile of village development committee report published in 2010 and the questionnaire survey carried out from the different stakeholder’s from the watershed area. The report of the village profile contained data of whole study area of the Phew watershed including the number of house, the number of families, income of the families, land use and land cover in the study area. The questionnaire Survey was conducted to evaluate the impact of soil erosion due to the socio economic, climatic and anthropogenic factors. 310 questionnaires were collected from the 14-sub watershed area of stakeholders like farmers, mothers’ group, teachers, social workers, NGO/GO officers, politicians, students etc. The data collected was based on individual interviews, focus group discussion key informant interviews and field observation method were using questionnaire to investigate for the socio-economic and climatic and anthropogenic factors. The primary information derived from the questionnaire surveyed was climatic, anthropogenic and socioeconomic factors. Garmin GPS collected GPS points of the household. The collected points were projected to the map of the study area. Data on average rainfall, humidity and temperature were collected from the relevant government agencies and meteorological department government of Nepal. These climatic data were compared with soil erosion of the study area. Primary data were collected from a field survey. A structured questionnaire composed of 12 Variables, all potentially influencing for the soil erosion were designed to obtain the information from the personal interview and discussion with all types of stakeholders’. The questionnaire collected data about the soil erosion details were interviewed. Secondary data including demographic information about the Phewa watershed area such as rainfall, temperature and the list of soil erosion from the watershed area were analyzed. The soil erosion data were collected from the Government office NGO and the village development committees. The broad structured questionnaires were used for the personal, social, economical, resources management, climatic and participatory approach for soil conservation practices. Additional qualitative information such as change in soil conservation practices, role of local level institution initiation, land management practices six focus group discussions in six VDC, 12 key informant interviews and through the observation of the watershed. Focus group discussions were conducted between the stakeholders’ farmer, teacher, politician, mothers’ group member and NGO/GO officers, students. A checklist was prepared for the discussion, a researcher was facilitated in
