Answer:
1. Watershed management is the study of the relevant characteristics of a watershed aimed at the sustainable distribution of its resources and the process of creating and implementing plans, programs and projects to sustain and enhance watershed functions that affect the plant, animal, and human communities within the watershed boundary.
2. Watersheds are important because the surface water features and stormwater runoff within a watershed ultimately drain to other bodies of water. It is essential to consider these downstream impacts when developing and implementing water quality protection and restoration actions.
3. Erosion prevention and improved soil quality allows villagers to cultivate land previously categorized as wasteland. Crop yields have improved, and villagers are now able to grow crops year-round.
4. Irrigated agriculture in India has probably reached its limit and further sustainable increases in food production must come from dryland farming, especially watershed development and management. This calls for an analysis of situations under which watershed technology becomes economically viable, socially acceptable and ecologically sustainable.
