Abstract
•Soil erosion perceived as a severe problem in both watersheds.•Farmers were selective in building soil and water conservation (SWC) structures.•Soil and water conservation structures had positive effect on productivity.•Factors affecting construction and repairing of SWC structures are site specific.•Labor availability and land size limit construction and repairing of SWC structures.
