The aim of this paper is to give a better idea of the need to be aware of the situation of watershed protection as well as water quality and help the engineers to look at the water system or an irrigation system as a total process from the first drop of rain water to the faucet by the house or to the crop roots. This study is intended to be helpful in estimating the degree to which specific problems, such as deforestation and erosion, have effected community watersheds, water quality, and water quantity. This result is supported here by a tabular presentation of data of small watersheds in Honduras, which compares the observations of the field. The results is placed on simple techniques for protection of watershed and water quality, and on important people considerations. These tasks can be some of the most difficult ones. However, they are a key to the ongoing success of an irrigation or water project.
