The document provides details about the Nonglim Nongladew village in Meghalaya, India. It describes the village as small and surrounded by natural beauty, inhabited by Khasi tribes. The main livelihood is rainfed paddy cultivation. A community participation project was implemented to provide water for agricultural fields via an earthen channel and pipelines from a nearby stream. Villagers contributed labor to construct the system and agreed to future maintenance. This has given them a strong sense of ownership over the natural resource management project, which has been successful and sustainable due to their participatory approach.
