Course Learning Objectives
The course is designed to:
- introduce the concept of watershed management
- understand the watershed characteristics
- learn the principles of soil erosion and measures to control erosion
- appreciate various water harvesting techniques.
- learn land management practices for various land use/land cover.
- introduce concepts of watershed modelling.
Course outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be able to
- calculate watershed parameters and analyse watershed characteristics to take appropriate management action.
- quantify soil erosion and design control measures.
- apply land grading techniques for proper land management .
- suggest suitable harvesting techniques for better watershed management.
- apply appropriate models for watershed management.
SYLLABUS
UNIT-I : Introduction: Concept of watershed development, objectives of watershed development, need for watershed development, Integrated and multidisciplinary approach for watershed management.
