“…Several factors, including finances, staffing, legal entities, organizational arrangements, consensus on involvement, partisanship, and institutional capacity, can impose limitations on the scaling process. Understanding potential variations in societal, financial, and organizational variables associated with implementing EAFM across different fisheries scales is crucial [ 15 ].…”

“…A watershed is a plain area that is topographically bounded by mountain ridges and drained by a network of streams into a common outlet (Salehpour Jam & Mosaffaie, 2023). As an ecosystem, a watershed is a processor of a primary input in the form of rain, then produces an output in the format of water discharge and sediment loads.…”

Purwodadi and Bagelen sub-districts are areas that are frequently inundated by floods from the overflow of the Bogowonto River. These inundations can disrupt community activities and has an impact on material, social and economic damage. Therefore, it is necessary to have an effective and efficient flood potential in the Bogowonto watershed. The purpose of this study is to extract data of land use and river geometry using remote sensing data and geographic information systems for estimating flood discharges and constructing flood inundation spatial models using HEC-RAS and ArcGIS software in return periods 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 years. Modeling is doing with integrating HEC-RAS and ArcGIS software. This study generally carried out hydrological and hydraulic modeling in the Bogowonto watershed. Hydrological modeling was carried out to convert rainfall data into flood discharge using the Nakayasu Synthetic Unit Hydrograph. The data used is the maximum daily rainfall for 2010-2022 from 10 rain stations in the Bogowonto watershed. Hydraulic modeling was carried out to simulate flood inundation using the HEC-RAS software with 2D unsteady flow simulation. The data required in this study are river geometry, design flood discharge, and Manning's values. River geometry data and Manning's values were obtained visual interpretation from remote sensing data in the form of DEMNAS and Sentinel-2A. The results of the modeling were analyzed and visualized using ArcGIS. This study shows that remote sensing data and geographic information systems can extract land use and river geometry data, which can then be used in flood modeling.

“…Watershed intervention projects (WIPs) are conducted with the primary goal of mitigating flood damage, promoting soil conservation in alignment with ecological balance, and ultimately enhancing the quality of life for watershed residents. The success of such projects depends significantly on the way and extent of people's participation (Bagdi & Kurothe 2014; Davudirad et al 2021;Guleria et al 2021;Roba Gamo et al 2021;Noor et al 2022;Salehpour Jam & Mosaffaie 2023). Over the past decades, natural resources in Iran have experienced severe degradation (Razzaghi Borkhani et al 2023;Savari & Khaleghi 2023a, 2024, with an average annual soil erosion and sediment yield of approximately 7 and 15 t ha À1 , respectively (Sadeghi & Hazbavi 2022).…”

“…In this regard, there is a growing consensus among researchers, experts, and the policy community that addressing the current crisis in soil and water resources requires more than just the knowledge of experts and local communities (Simpson & De Loe 2017;Sabzevar et al 2021;Noor et al 2022). The natural resources and watershed development programs should meet the needs and expectations of the majority of stakeholders (Salehpour Jam & Mosaffaie 2023;Savari & Khaleghi 2023b). The imperative for people's participation in IWM and sustainable development is widely acknowledged (Buono et al 2012).…”

The present study aimed to identify and prioritize people's participation barriers (PPBs) in watershed intervention projects (WIPs), considering the perspectives of both experts and local people in the Dastgerd watershed, Iran. Thirteen important PPBs in the implementation of WIPs were identified in the study. The findings indicated that a lack of participatory guidelines, an expert-oriented decision-making process, and a deficiency in economic incentives during the implementation of WIPs constituted the most crucial PPBs. In addition, according to the two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, there is a significant difference in the perspectives of the two groups regarding the importance of 60% of PPBs. The biggest differences were observed concerning the two barriers of ‘ignoring people's benefit from the project’ and ‘lack of people consultation and attention to their suggestions’. Given the substantial impact of expert opinions on policy-making in watersheds, any misconceptions they hold regarding barriers and incentives for people's participation can lead to adverse outcomes in the planning of soil and water conservation projects. To address this issue, the establishment of think tanks and the facilitation of brainstorming sessions play a pivotal role in fostering mutual understanding, aligning the perspectives of local people and experts, and making informed decisions to overcome challenges.
