👉 Watershed engineering is a comprehensive approach to managing and enhancing the health of a watershed, which encompasses all land that drains into a specific water body such as a river, lake, or wetland. This engineering involves designing and implementing strategies to control erosion, improve water quality, manage stormwater runoff, and restore degraded ecosystems. Techniques include constructing retention basins, terraces, and check dams to slow water flow and reduce sedimentation; planting vegetation to stabilize soil and filter pollutants; and modifying land use practices to minimize runoff. The goal is to maintain or restore the natural hydrological cycle, ensuring sustainable water resources and ecological balance within the watershed.
