Since India is one of the developing countries, due to increased urbanization and deforestation the vegetative cover is being decreased as a result of which the hydrological cycle is being affected and this is resulting in bottoming levels of the ground water. All these consequences finally result in desertification of that piece of land. Watershed planning is very much essential for the conservation of land and water resources and their management for optimum productivity.
