1. Watershed Resources, their Exploitation And
Consequences

2. HERE WE ARE…..

3. OBJECTIVES OF OUR WORK
 What are the resources of watershed ?
 How human exploit watershed resources ?
 Consequences of watershed resources .
 Importance of watershed resources .

4. WHAT IS WATERSHED?
A Watershed Is the Area of Land (Catchment Area) That Captures Rain
and Snow, And Then Stores, Filters, Seeps or Drains This Water into A
Common Water Body (Marsh, Stream, River, Or Lake).

20. OVERVIEW
 Soil quality and fertility are decreasing day by day due to misuse
of soil.
 Water availability decreasing due to rapid population growth and
lack of awareness.
 Vegetation provides direct and indirect socio economic products
and services for human.
