Watershed is an area of land within which all the rainfall it receives feeds into a particular drainage channel. STONE TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION has taken up innovative projects by addressing water resource development to strive for desired objective of drinking water security, to boost agriculture & livestock production, particularly to benefit weaker sections of the community. Efficient Water Conservation with appropriate technologies & systems and Community participation with special concentration on poor sections, in planning & implementation.

Under the Watershed Development Programme, all the land falling within the area is treated on the basis of soil & water conservation techniques. Major of them are plugging of drainage line by construction of check dams, gabions & masonry structures, constructing farm bunds & digging contour trenches on steeper land. After basic treatment of watershed, a variety of watershed - plus activities are taken up such as the promotion of improved farming systems, horticulture & animal husbandry.

Generally, the poor farmers who own poor quality land lack even safe drinking water, water for irrigation is a far cry. Though, a massive watershed development programme has been launched in the country; still the poor need support of technology and resources to make better use of the water.
