What to Focus On
- A watershed is the area where water naturally drains through streams and nalas.
- Watershed areas may be 50 hectares to 500 hectares or more.
- Surveying the whole area is necessary before starting work.
- Watershed treatments include structural and cultivation methods.
- Planning depends on rainfall, slope, soil, rocks, groundwater, and vegetation.
- Light, medium, and heavy land are considered in planning.
- CCT means trenches dug along the contour of the slope.
- High slope means trenches should be closer together.
- Low slope means trenches can be farther apart.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Watershed development can begin anywhere in the area, so the starting point does not matter.
A watershed area is a very large river basin, so the chapter is talking about huge regions only.
CCT trenches should be dug farther apart on steep land because steep land needs fewer trenches.
