Weather The study of weather and climate is increasingly important due to climate change's impact on human life and agriculture, especially in India, where over 70% of the population relies on rain for farming. Understanding weather patterns is critical for effective watershed management and sustainable development, yet access to reliable weather data remains limited. The variability of rainfall across regions affects water resource planning, with significant changes in rainfall intensity observed in recent decades. Effective water management strategies, tailored to specific regional conditions, are essential to address issues such as water scarcity, erosion, and changing agricultural patterns. -
EARTH SCIENCE IN WATERSHED MANAGEMENT Watershed management is crucial for effective natural resource management, focusing on soil, water, and vegetation within a defined area that drains to a common outlet. It emphasizes the hydrological cycle's role and geographic diversity in managing water resources across various scales, from large regions to micro watersheds. Effective management strategies can enhance water conservation, ensure agricultural productivity, control erosion and sedimentation, and mitigate drought impacts, ultimately supporting water security and food security. Understanding the topography and hydrology of watersheds is essential for optimizing these management practices.
