Effects of Watershed Management Practices on Some of Flood Characteristics Change in Haftan Watershed

Evaluation of watershed projects is one of the most fundamental problems in countries for future implementation planning and management of natural resources. In regard to lack of required equipment for monitoring and evaluation of watershed projects and investigation of management measures in watersheds, application of hydrologic models is an efficient tool for simulation of watershed behavior ...

The effects of watershed management practices on runoff production using SCS model in Anbaranchay watershed

Watershed management has different effects on the amount of runoff and sediment and alteration ofhydrological features in a watershed. In this study, the effects of watershed management on runoff was investigated in the Anbaranchaywatershed. For this purpose, the topography data in format of a digital elevation model, land use, soil hydrological groups and watershed managemetrigeon,and also usi...

Watershed Management in Nepal: Challenges and Constraints

Nepal’s terrain is dissected by many rivers and streams to form a complex of watersheds. Natural and human-induced processes operate on these watersheds. The main processes that lead to the degradation of watersheds are landslides, soil erosion, floods, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable water extraction and farming practices. These lead to the loss of soil fertility, the depletion of water t...
