Soil and water conservation activities in a watershed must be monitored, so that results in watershedmanagement are known. The activities are to be implemented using an accurate method for evaluating theimpact of conservation activities in accordance with the improvement of watershed condition. Evaluation ofwatershed condition should use hydrology parameters measured at the outlet of a watershed, and beexplained quantitatively as a result of direct measurement. Such kind of evaluation can be used ifappropriate instruments have been placed in the watershed. The number of watersheds or sub-watershedsprovided with sufficient amount of instruments is very limited. Using a model to evaluate the watershedcondition is one of the alternatives in finding solution to the above-mentioned problem. One of these modelsis the AGNPS Model. A study with application of such model was carried out in the Bila Bulu CendranaEwatershed (South Sulawesi), and results show that the second scenario is the most suitable to improve theBila Bulu CendranaE watershed condition.
