  • Abstract:
  • Water is the most precious and vulnerable resource on the earth. It is essential to all life on the planet. In rainfed areas, watershed management is utilized to turn water and other natural resources into long-term areas of land that are hydrologically defined and drained by a network of streams. It is important to remember that the watershed comprises soil, plants, water, humans, and animals. Thus, sustainable watershed management requires utilizing land and water resources to maximize productivity while minimizing environmental and human impacts. The population is increasing in the Nakrekal Mandal due to its geographical location. As a result, there is huge pressure on natural resources such as water, soil, and vegetation, mostly due to imbalanced human activities and natural ecosystem factors like flora, land and water. In this aspect, watershed management is important to prevent all these above anomalies from tracking the human factor as a more balanced activity with the ecosystem. The present paper concentrates on the impact of micro watershed management in Nakrekal Mandal in the district of Nalgonda-Telangana state. The study's outcome will benefit geographers, policy-makers, environmentalists, agricultural researchers and academicians.
