摘要:Water availability for development of the area is the central issue in drought prone areas. Watershed approach can meet this requirement to bridge the gap between water supply and requirement apart from conservation of land resources and protection of the environment. The resultant increase in the productivity can upgrade the quality of life of people. Thus, watershed management particularly in dry lands is regarded as a holistic approach towards optimizing the integrated use of land, water and vegetation in a land unit for providing an answer to alleviate drought, moderate floods, prevent soil erosion, improve water availability and increase crop, fodder, fuel and fibre production on a sustained basis. The present paper deals with the study of the Akoli watershed with reference to the hydrogeomorphology.
