WHAT IS WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT ?
Watershed development refers to the
conservation regeneration and the judicious use of all the resources –
natural ( like land, water plants, animals) and human – within the
watershed area. Watershed Management tries to bring about the best
possible balance in the environment between natural resources on the one
side and man and animals on the other. Since it is the man which is
primarily responsible for degradation of environment, regeneration and
conservation can only be possible by promoting awakening and participation
among the people who inhabit the watersheds.
WHY WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT ?
Man and his environment are interdependent. The changes in the environment directly affect the lives of the people depending on it. A degraded environment means a degraded quality of life of the people. Environmental degradation can be tackled effectively through the holistic development of the watershed. A watershed provides a natural geo-hydrological unit for planning any developmental initiative.
