Abstract
Abstract
This study has been conducted to evaluate technical standards of selected physical soil and water conservation practices (SWC) and to asses:- community participation in the Layguder watershed. The study was conducted using field measurements, group discussion and (Fifty-seven) household survey. Measurements were taken from these soil bunds, trenches, cut-off drains and waterways from three separate slope classes (3-8% lower, 8-15% middle, and 15-30% upper slope). The recommended value was analyzed using t-test statistics (p<0.05). The household survey data was analyzed by descriptive statistics using the basic Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS-16). The result revealed that soil bund ditch depth, bottom embankment, bund spacing at 3-8 slope classes top width at lower slope class, depth and berm at all slope classes were lesser in magnitude but closer to the standards. Narrow spacing between bunds took more area and required labour thus, they did have not community acceptance by 61%, of the total respondents. The household participation in the implementation of SWC activity was high, while their participation in the planning, monitoring evaluation and corrective action was low.

Key words: Keywords: SWC, Technical standard, Community Participation, recommended standard values
