INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
Watershed management deals with the conservation, regeneration and
judicious use of resources (land, water, plants, animals, etc.) by human
beings. The Ministry of Rural Development, Govt. of India has launched
Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) by modifying
erstwhile programmes namely, Drought Prone Areas Programme (DPAP),
Desert Development Programme (DDP) and Integrated Wastelands
Development Programme (IWDP) of the Department of Land Resources.
IWMP is aimed towards restoration of ecological balance by harnessing,
conservation and development of natural resources, especially in rainfed
areas of the country.
The space based remote sensing technology, especially with the
availability of high spatial and temporal resolution satellite data and
aided with Geographic Information System (GIS) tools could be effectively
used for watershed management and monitoring activities. The
geospatial technology helps in baseline survey, planning for development
activities, monitoring and evaluation, apply mid-course corrections and
assessing long-term effectiveness of the programme implemented.
