When the pastor of an evangelical church hires a new keyboardist to take his congregation electric, things get weird in a hurry. Objects go missing-paint buckets, Bibles, pieces of the stage, and even the neighborhood dog. Worse, Pastor Zacharias Hembrey himself goes missing the night he's abducted by members of a cartel who've chosen his church as a front for their drug smuggling operation. While the congregants suspect the new keyboardist is behind the illegal activity, Pastor Zacharias refuses to admit how much his own daughter might be involved. Alternately told from the perspective of the pastor's daughter, Elizabeth, and from Pastor Zacharias, The Watershed Project is a southern literary novel about the limits of faith, the struggle for meaning in a corrupt, dispirited town, and the lengths to which one father will go to reconcile with his rebellious teenage daughter.

On the occasion of the International Year of Mountains-2002, FAO and its partners undertook a large-scale assessment and global review of the current status and future trends of integrated and participatory watershed management. The overall objectives were to promote the exchange and dissemination of experiences in implementing watershed management projects in the decade from 1990 to 2000 and to identify the vision for a new generation of watershed management programmes and projects. This resource book represents a summary and critical analysis of the rich discussions and vast materials that emerged during the review, as well as the review's findings and recommendations. It presents the state of the art in watershed management, promotes further reflection and creative thinking and proposes new ideas and approaches for future watershed management programmes and projects. This publication has been written primarily for field-level watershed management practitioners and local decision-makers involved in watershed management at the district or municipality level. It will also be a useful source of information for other readers such as senior officers and consultants specialized in other areas, evaluators, policy-makers and students of watershed management
