Question

What is watershed management?

Answer 1

Watershed management is the efficient management and conservation of both surface and groundwater resources within an area of land that drains water into a specific waterbody such as a stream, river, lake, or pond. It involves various steps like prevention of surface run-off, storage, and recharge of groundwater using methods such as percolation pits, recharge wells, borewells and dugwells to conserve water and maintain its availability.
