What is watershed management?

watershed management means scientific soil and water conservation in order to increase biomass production. In this management we develop such resources of land and water which will not cause ecological imbalance. Various organizations have been working on alternative to dams like digging small pits and lake, sand and limestone reservoirs, rooftop water collecting units which saves rain water.

These all methods have recharged the depleting ground water levels. Also watershed management leads to reduction of droughts and floods.
