- comments:
- Implementation requires very specialized scientific support over a long-term period, which seems more appropriate for a science-based approach.
- challenges:
- Positive and Causal Factors: Lessons taken from previous projects in developing a design for future blockades.
- success:
- Challenges: Limited community support because of access restrictions and loss of access to natural resources; complex design and implementation of building dams in tropical peat swamp; limited scientific knowledge base of added value and proven positive environmental impact of blockades.
- context:
- GLACIER is a pilot project in tropical peatland restoration/rehabilitation of which restoration of former hydrological conditions is an integral part. However, very limited experience does exist with the actual physical blockade of water bodies and the scientific knowledge base is yet limited and inconclusive.
Instead of the planned blocking, the project has down-scaled its ambition to focus only on reviewing and designing a potential methodology and assessing potential locations. The activity is highly complex, because of which the reduced ambition level seems to be fairly justified.
- description:
- Establishment of canal and/or tatas blocking is complicated as it requires the construction of considerable infrastructure elements and needs additional blocking of any drainage outlet from the peat area targeted (in an already very complex environmental setting) and still lacks sufficient scientific base and community support. Targetted users: Community members with access to communal land or private land in the area where the blockade is intended.
