Key Points: Water Conservation Practices > Watershed Management
- A watershed is a geographical area from which water drains to a common point like a river, lake or pond.
- Watershed management means the planned conservation of soil and water resources in a watershed area.
- It includes preventing surface run-off by building small embankments and barriers.
- It helps in storing rainwater and recharging groundwater through percolation pits, recharge wells, borewells and dugwells.
- Watershed management ensures efficient use of water, reduces soil erosion and supports agriculture.
