What is water shed development?

Watershed development refers to the process of managing and enhancing the Natural Resources within a watershed area to improve water quality, increase water availability, and promote sustainable land use. It involves practices such as soil conservation, afforestation, and water harvesting to prevent soil erosion and enhance groundwater recharge. By integrating agricultural, environmental, and socio-economic strategies, watershed development aims to achieve ecological balance and support the livelihoods of communities dependent on these resources. Overall, it enhances resilience against climate change and promotes sustainable development.
