3. 3 Watershed Development Program….. Depleting Natural Resources Deterioration of Forest cover Soil erosion. Acute shortage of water. All leading to precarious conditions and contributing to vicious cycle of Poverty. For arresting this vicious cycle of poverty there is need to strengthen and augment all the assets on sustainable and efficient mechanism.

4. 4 Watershed Development Program….. Some Innovative Mechanism to Enrich the Capital Human : Enhancement of Skills, information delivery. Natural : C.C.T. (Continuous Contour Trenching ) for enriching Land and Water resources. Social : Empowering Women and Local Community.

5. 5 Watershed Development Program….. Introduction Water is biggest crisis we are facing today in terms of severity and its spread. Out of 328 million hectares of total land 175 million hectares is declared as waste lands. Watershed treatment in most of the lands thus has to be highest priority. Every third person in the country is badly affected by this crisis. C.C.T. has proven that waste land can be transformed into valuable Natural capital at very low cost within short time and with guaranteed results.

6. 6 Watershed Development Program….. Out of the waste land most of the area can be converted into valuable and bountiful Natural capital to overcome the water crisis. C.C.T. is based on knowledge input as against costly inputs in conventional techniques of watershed development. C.C.T. is applicable to diverse Agro Climatic zones for watershed development; soil conservation and forestation.

7. 7 Watershed Development Program….. Benefits of C.C.T. Soil loss becomes nil. No surface run off. Barren area gets permanent biomass cover and soil is protected. Good soil moisture and good ground water available in wells and tanks. Clean water for drinking. Evaporation losses are negligible as compare to Tanks and Dams. Stops migration to cities in search of livelihood.
