Abstract
Watershed is a geohydrological unit draining to a common point by a system of stream. The study area is a sub watershed region of Cauvery river basin. The district is predominantly composed by agriculture forest areas. Most of this region is rain fed agriculture which is severely suffering from water resources. Since several Watershed Management Programmes have been implemented to rejuvenate water resources, the best practices of Watershed management are to increase infiltration of rain water, increase water holding capacity and prevent soil erosion through amelioration measures.
