The present book is a practical guide to all the personnel working on watersheds, at different levels. Though the main thrust in the book has been soil and water conservation; which are very important aspects in watershed management; the socio-economic factors and many other aspects have been considered. The contents not only encompass, whether it is related to watershed characterisation, watershed requirements, land development, livestock development, organic farming systems, silvipastoral approach, renewable energy sources or homestead farming systems but also development of people in the watershed. The whole gamut of watershed is available in this book. Everybody engaged in watershed related study or working in the watershed areas could find answers for all his/her problems. Species of vegetation suitable for plantations, whether it is in agricultural lands or non-arable lands or in drainage line treatment, are specifically indicated in this book. Their adaptability in several agro-climatic conditions also has been specified. Design, measurements and modes of execution of soil and water conservation structures have also been elaborately mentioned in the book.
