Explain how ‘watershed management’ and ‘rainwater harvesting’ are the methods of efficient management and conservation of surface water resources in India.
Answers
Water resources are one of the most important and limited resources in our country.
That's why we preserve water resources by various methods in our country.
The watershed management’ and ‘rainwater harvesting’ are the methods of efficient management and conservation of surface water resources in India because,the rainfall amount is significantly high in our country due to many geographical reasons.
That's why this huge amount of rainwater is harvested by the above-mentioned methods in our country.
The ever increasing population and its simultaneously increasing demand for resources, particularly water from agriculture, domestic and industrial purposes has caused the demand for watershed management and rainwater harvesting as the solutions to effective management and conservation of water resources in India.
Both of these water saving mechanisms consist of catchments where the water drains into a single channel or underground reservoir.
