Watershed management is a subject that not only deals with agriculture development of a place but is a very comprehensive and complex subject that includes, engineering aspects, social science, agronomy, soil science, horticulture, forestry, animal sciences and other relevant subjects in such a synchronized way that a holistic approach is evolved which when applied in the field will result in overall development of the watershed in a participatory mode. When such a large number of subjects are involved a very large number of terms from these vast subjects are frequently used during execution of watershed in fields. Selective prominent terminologies from a vast amount of information on watershed management are collected and presented in this book. A large number of field functionaries are involved in execution of watershed such as state government departments, NGOs, students, scientists, forest departments and other agencies; they often need these terms for their practical purposes to interpret various terms by their correct meanings. A large number of books are available covering core theoretical aspects of watershed management, but this book is written with a view to meet the requirement of vast majority of people working in watershed for their day to day requirements in watershed management.
