Question

What is watershed management? What are its two main part?

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.The three main components in watershed management are land management, water management and biomass management. Land characteristics like terrain, slope, formation, depth, texture, moisture, infiltration rate and soil capability are the major determinants of land management activities in a watershed.

Answer 2

Watershed management

• Through a comprehensive approach, watershed management aims to stop land degradation and maximise agricultural output. Watershed management entails the prudent use of land and water resources for maximum and sustained productivity with the least amount of risk to the environment.
• By identifying the various types of pollution present in the watershed, how those pollutants are transported, and making recommendations for ways to reduce or eliminate those pollution sources, watershed management aids in the control of pollution of the water and other natural resources within the watershed.

• Land management, water management, and biomass management are the three basic facets of watershed management.
• The primary factors of land management operations in a watershed include land features including terrain, slope, formation, depth, texture, wetness, infiltration rate, and soil capability.
