Ramakrishna Scientist Crop Production, KVK, Palem Explained in detail about how watersheds are crucial for water resource management and environmental health. They are areas where water stored after rainfall, collects and flows into a larger body of water, like a river or lake. Watersheds play a vital role in controlling soil erosion, reducing silt accumulation, and increasing groundwater recharge. They also help prolong the life of rivers and water storage structures by slowing down water flow and increasing the duration of flow. Healthy watersheds are essential for ecosystem services like nutrient cycling, carbon storage, and flood control, which benefits both the environment and human communities. Mr. K. Ramakrishna Scientist Crop Production, R.Raghuvaran singh, YP-2 from KVK, Palem and District Horticulture officer, District Veterinary officer & District DRDA Officer, District groundwater department, water shed project officer, all line department officers of Amrabad mandal & 210 farmers of village were Participated.
