Conclusion

‐Panlong River faces multiple issues affecting water resources and require an integrated approach.

‐Watershed approach that is multi scale can be used to assess and design for ecological and socioeconomic dimensions gains.

‐Sustainable development of Panlong River watershed needs a participatory and integrated approach for managing water resources.
