What is the main objective of watershed management?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Integrated conservation of soil and water

The governing concept is integrated watershed management, in which the land area draining to a common outlet is planned as one connected system. Its main objective is to conserve soil and water together by slowing surface runoff, reducing erosion, increasing infiltration, harvesting rainwater and supporting vegetation. These measures can improve groundwater recharge and the reliability of water for local use. Therefore option A is correct. A watershed programme may include small water-harvesting structures, contour treatment and vegetation protection, but it is not limited to dam construction. Removing forests increases erosion, and maximum groundwater extraction is contrary to conservation and sustainability.
