Resumen
Descripción
This report outlines the main results
of a study conducted to assess the potential role of
landscape restoration/nature-based solutions/green
infrastructure in the Vakhsh River Basin, Tajikistan, to
reduce the impacts of soil erosion on the hydropower
cascade, increase agricultural productivity, improve
livelihoods, and inform about investment opportunities. This
assessment finds sediment sources and loadings in the Vakhsh
River Basin, considers the potential correlation between
soil erosion and sedimentation in hydropower reservoirs,
proposes possible and cost-effective landscape restoration
measures, and estimates the value of ecosystem services
provided. The study also presents recommendations for
implementing the proposed interventions for the Vakhsh River
Basin and for scaling up to other degraded areas throughout
the country.
