Steps in Watershed Management:
Watershed management involves determining alternative land treatment measures. For this, information about the problems of land, soil, water, and vegetation in the watershed is essential.
To find practical solutions to these problems, it is necessary to go through four phases for full-scale watershed management.
🔶 Program:
🔷 Recognition Phase
→ This phase involves the following steps:
→ Recognition of the problem.
→ Analysis of the cause of the problem and its effects.
→ Development of alternative solutions to problems.
🔶 Restoration Phase
→ This phase includes two main steps:
→ Selection of the best solution to a problem identified.
→ Application of solutions to the problems of the land.
🔷 Improvement Phase
→ This phase deals with the overall improvement in the watershed and ensures all land is covered.
→ Attention is paid to agriculture, first management, production, forage production, and pasture management.
→ Social-economic conditions are considered to achieve the objectives of watershed management.
🔶 Protection Phase
→ This phase ensures the general health of the watershed and ensures its normal functioning.
→ Protection is against all factors that may harm the watershed's condition.
